Differential protein expression in relation to dietary amino acid composition: a proteomic approach towards understanding growth in fish

Growth is essentially protein deposition. Therefore, optimisation of growth depends on the understanding of amino acid (AA) metabolism. The complexity and possible interactions between the various metabolic processes and regulatory pathways are enormous. It is evident that growth in a living anim...
