We thought we had it fixed, but this bug is the same reason we had to take down "Beginner Puzzle: Snow Flea Antifreeze Protein" as soon as it went up yesterday.

Once we fix the problem, we'll post the Snow Flea Antifreeze Protein, which has Cys bonds in the native, and you should be able to match the guide by forming disulfide bonds.

But for this puzzle, no cys bonds for you!
