Answer:

Sulfur is part of the structure of some amino acids and proteins.

Explanation:

Sulfur enters the disulfide layers in proteins and is responsible for their spatial structure. Many proteins, in order to perform their function, need a stable spatial form (Enzymes, for example.). Because disulfide bridges form strong bonds between amino acids, this structure remains strong and stable to perform its function.  In addition, sulfur is present in the amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine contained in proteins. Proteins are the compounds in which most of S and N are incorporated. Sulfur content in proteins is 1 g / kg and N is 15 times higher.
