High biological value proteins are ones with ample amounts of all essential amino acids. Within a single day of restricting essential amino acid intake, the body stars to limit the breakdown of working proteins and reduce amino acid use for fuel to conserve the essential amino acids it currently has. A diet short in any of the essential amino acids limits protein synthesis. In building a protein, no other amino acid can fill another"s spot. It a cell building a protein cannot find a needed amino acid, protein synthesis stops and the partial protein is released. These partially completed proteins are not stored until the amino acid is available. They are instead dismantled and the amino acids are released back into circulation.
