Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition serves as a fundamental pillar for the well-being of individuals, with protein emerging as a pivotal nutrient critical to various physiological functions, including reproduction and growth.
Inadequate protein levels in one’s diet can have adverse effects on different traits. Conversely, an excess of protein not only incurs significant energy costs but also leads to the undesirable consequence of excessive nitrogen excretion. Consequently, the concept of ideal protein revolves around dietary protein featuring an amino acid profile precisely tailored to an individual’s specific requirements.
Recent strides in molecular techniques have opened up promising avenues, providing powerful tools that enable a more profound exploration of the ideal amino acid profile customized for each animal/plant/person. This advancement propels the ideal protein concept to a higher echelon of precision.
This Special Issue warmly invites original research or review papers delving into the mechanisms that can advance our understanding of ideal protein nutrition. Contributions across diverse research domains, such as human nutrition, animal-plant production, and animal conservation, among others, are encouraged. The assertions put forth in the papers should be underpinned by robust data and evidence. Your valuable contributions are poised to significantly contribute to the advancement of our knowledge in the field of ideal protein nutrition.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
