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.
Each individual type of protein is composed of a specific group of amino acids in a specific chemical arrangement. It is the particular amino acids present and the way in which they are linked together in sequence that gives the proteins that make up the various tissues their unique functions and characters.mino acids are the chemical units or building blocks, as they are popularly called, that make up proteins. Amino acids contain about 16 percent nitrogen. Chemically, this is what distinguishes them from the other two basic nutrients, sugars and fatty acids, which do not contain nitrogen.
