Yes. Remember that when 2 atoms of the same or different elements combine, it forms a molecule. 2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom = 1 molecule of H20(water). The same holds true for proteins, proteins are composed of amino acids, which are in turn composed of different molecules, which are also composed of different atoms.
