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.

What is phosphorus combining capacity?

Phosphorus combining capacity refers to the maximum amount of phosphorus that can be bound to proteins in a specific volume of serum or plasma. It is a measure of the ability of plasma proteins to bind and transport phosphorus in the bloodstream. A higher phosphorus combining capacity may indicate certain medical conditions such as kidney disease or metabolic disorders.

What happens when T2 phages are grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus?

When T2 phages are grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus, the phage DNA will incorporate the radioactive phosphorus into its structure during replication. This allows for visualizing the localization of the phage DNA within the infected bacterial cell using autoradiography.

Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in protein?

The only element that is not found in any of the 20 essential amino acids but is found in nucleic acids is Phosphorus. It is found in the "Sugar-Phosphate backbone" of nucleic acid but is not found in any of the essential amino acids. Many proteins interact with phosphate groups but they do not make up the protein.
