Protein is composed of amino acids, which are in turn made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. A few amino acids also contain sulfur: both Cysteine and Methionine. Thus, proteins containing these amino acids would be made up of very small amounts of sulfur, in addition to the more common elements listed above. The five chemical elements of protein are, 1.) sulfur 2.) carbon 3.) hydrogen 4.) oxygen 5.) nitrogen.
The monomers of proteins are amino acids, of which 20 kinds are found in proteins. The amino acids are connected end-to-end, so proteins do not branch. A single molecule of certain proteins may consist of thousands of amino acid monomers.All amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.he monomers of proteins are amino acids, of which 20 kinds are found in proteins.
