Best Answer

There's not ONE equation for protein, because this is not a compound but a group name for the substances called protein of which there are more than 100,000 , maybe millions, different proteins (*). They all have in common to be built up with amino acid monomers. Principal elements in proteins are C, H, O, N and sometimes S and rarely P.

(*) This is comparable with 'plastics': also many, many 1000's of them.
