Disulfide bridges are especially common in proteins that are secreted from cells. For example, disfulfide bridges are common in keratin, a type of protein found in skin, fingernails, hooves, and hair. Disulfide bridges contribute to curly hair. Disulfide bridges are shown as yellow-and-green spirals in Foldit when the "Show bonds" option is selected in View Options. (In the advanced GUI, the "Show bonds (sidechain)" option shows disulfide bridges.) A disulfide bridge is formed when a sulfur atom from one cysteine forms a single covalent bond with a sulfur atom from a second cysteine.
