I’m aware of essential and non essential proteins, but pretty ignorant beyond that. For example, what proportion of your intake needs be essential protein?
In: Biology
From a biochemical view:
Proteins are basically chains of small molecules (like chain links). As those chain links are different, the combination and sequence of those molecules make up the different proteins.
When you eat any food with proteins your body doesn’t go “Hey, that’s the protein i need, i’ll take it and throw the rest away”.
Your body disassembles the protein chains into it’s links and reassembles those links into the proteins your body requires. Many links can’t be produced by your humans, but animals and some plants can, that’s why need to eat them.
By that the very type of protein for muscle growth in general is not important, but i bet there are tiny differences bodybuilders will tell you about.
TLDR: Proteins are chains and get disassembled into their links and reassembled into the proteins you need; therefore the type of protein doesn’t matter
