A lab compares two proteins with identical amino acid composition but different sequences. In water, Protein 1 folds into a compact globular shape with a specific active site; Protein 2 folds into a different shape and shows no catalytic activity. Both proteins have the same numbers of polar, nonpolar, acidic, and basic side chains, but their order differs. Which statement best explains why only Protein 1 is catalytically active?
