A) cystine
B) cysteic acid
C) 4-hydroxyproline

Disulfide Linkages
Chemical bonds formed by the oxidation of two thiol groups, often important in the tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins.
Peroxyformic Acid
An organic compound that is a peroxy acid, formed by reacting formic acid with hydrogen peroxide, known for its oxidizing properties.
Cysteic Acid
An amino acid derived from the oxidation of cysteine, characterized by a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) attached to its side chain.
