Question: Can methionine participate in the formation of disulphide linkages?
No, only the molecule is destroyed. It is 2-amino-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid
The sulfur is on on side a methyl group and on other side the butanoic acid.
To get S-S groups you need fre HS group like in Cysteine 2-Amino-3-sulfhydrylpropanoic acid or Homocysteine 2-Amino-4-sulfhydrylbutanoic acid.

In methionine, S is thioether linkage and is not very reactive just like ethers.
CH3-S-CH2CH2CH(NH2)COOH
