Okay basically. The primary structure is the sequence and length of the amino acid chain.
Different proteins have different R groups, which determines the type of bonds they can form, and thus the shape of the active site.
As enzymes are specific, the active site needs to be certain shape for it to work, and thus the correct interactions to make the globular protein have the right shape are necessary.
Types of interactions include disulphide bridges, Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, etc.
If you want more info, just ask my friend :)
