I hope you were making a thinko/typo.  I suppose any aggregate biomass
contains some protein but cellulose is a polysaccharide -- a sugar
polymer -- not protein -- amino acid polymer.  If you bust cellulose
up, you get glucose. Raw wood contains a bunch of other stuff,
particularly lignin, but it's around 60% cellulose.
