Thiol because S-S bond is formed.
The functional group that participates in disulphide bond formation in proteins is thiol. A thiol is an organosulfur compound that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl (CSH or RSH) group (where R represents an alkane, alkene, or other carbon-containing group of atoms). Thiols are the sulphur analogue of alcohols. A disulfide bond is a covalent bond, usually derived by the coupling of two thiol groups.
