Constitutively, proteins have no phosphorus as part of the molecule. However proteins can be phosphorylated by kinase enzymes that specifically add a phosphorus to certain amino acid residues, most of the times in Serine, Threonine or Tyrosine residues.

Are proteins phosphorus?

No phosphorous is an element and cant be a protein. Proteins rather don't have phosphorous primarily in their amino acid or backbone. But after the protein synthesis, they can be phosphorylated (addition of phosphate) to their residues by kinases.
