GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in your body. It is present in methionine and cysteine, which are two of the amino acids you use to make proteins. Both of these amino acids are present in your skin, hair, and nails where they help to make these tissues strong and flexible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolism of sulfur containing amino acids Methionine and cysteine are both required for protein synthesis by simple-stomached mammals and avian species [1].

Detailed explanation-3: -Methionine and cysteine are the two primary sulfur-containing amino acids in mammals. Methionine is an essential amino acid, obtained by dietary intake while cysteine is non-essential and a metabolite of methionine metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain and between amino acid “R” groups helps to preserve protein structure by keeping the protein in the form formed by the hydrophobic interactions. What is called a disulfide bridge is formed by this sort of bonding.
