In chemistry, a disulfide (or disulphide in British English) is a compound containing a functional group or the anion. In inorganic chemistry, the anion appears in a few rare minerals. Compounds of the form are usually called persulfides instead.
Disulfide bridges also appear as a common post-translational modification in proteins.
