That depends. DNA undergoing replication is assisted by varieties of proteins to make a new strand. Also, in order for DNA to be coiled into chromosomes, the DNA must be wrapped around the protein histone.

But in the actual structure of DNA, no, there are no proteins.

No, protein does not contain DNA. Protein is made up of amino acids.

No, DNA is not a protein. DNA is a nucleic acid.

Proteins are made up of amino acids, not nucleotides.
