All proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Mulder (1838) analyzed substances like albumin, casein and gelatin, concluded they shared a common composition and coined the term “proteïn.” His work established that proteins are made primarily of C, H, O and N (later work added that some proteins also contain S and sometimes P). The other statements concern carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and DNA structure, which were discovered much later.
