No. ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate - it contains an adenine ring (one of the nitrogenous bases found in DNA), a ribose sugar and three phosphates.

Proteins are long chains of amino acids.

That depends heavily on the type of protein. Translation indirectly requires ATP based on the number of amino acids that compose the protein. Each amino acid must be bound to tRNA using ATP, so a longer polypeptide chain needs more ATP in order to transport amino acids.

No, the most energy comes from lipids and carbohydrates. Proteins are mainly digested for their raw materials, not their energy.
