Salt bridges are ionic interactions between oppositely charged side chains in proteins. Sometimes, interactions between charged side chains and bound ions are also call salt bridges. The strength of a salt bridge is strongly dependent on the chemical environment (solvent exposed or buried, nature of the solvent).
