Identify the true statements regarding disulfide bridges (disulfide bonds). Disulfide bridges are formed by an irreversible oxidation reaction. Disulfide bridges can exist between two amino acid residues on different chains. Disulfide bridges have a stabilizing effect on proteins. A disulfide bridge forms between two cysteine residues. Disulfide bridges are important to primary and secondary structure.
