The functional groups involved in forming disulfide bonds are sulfhydral (-SH) groups.
A disulfide bridge involves covalent bonds
Side bonds link two adjacent chains of atoms in a molecule. The three types of side bonds are hydrogen bonds, salt bonds and disulfide bonds.

Lanthionization is the process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair. It breaks the hair's disulfide bonds during processing and converts them to lanthionine bonds when the relaxer is rinsed from the hair. Disulfide bonds contain two sulfur atoms. Lanthionine bonds contain only sulfur atom. The disulfide bonds that are broken by hydroxide relaxers are broken permanently and can never be re-formed.

When heat or chemicals are applied to the proteins in hair, the disulfide bonds of cysteine units are broken in the polypeptide structures of the hair proteins. The protein can then be straightened or curled, and then the disulfide bonds form again, locking the protein in that conformation.

Disulfide bonds between cysteine amino acids in a peptide chain are critically in stabilizing preferred secondary and tertiary structures. Many enzyme activities rely on specific shapes that are stabilized by these disulfide bonds.
