This course will be conducted completely online. It will be an interactive, but mostly lecture-based course that will focus on cutting-edge proteomic approaches and technologies.
The course will start by providing a grounding in mass spectrometry and peptide fragmentation analysis. Bioinformatic strategies for data analysis will then be explained. Quantitative strategies will be introduced, including isotopic labeling and label-free analysis, with a brief introduction to the Skyline software.
Day 3 will focus on analysis of protein post-translational modifications. Approaches for enrichment using antibodies and other affinity strategies will be surveyed and data analysis challenges including modification site assignment will be covered.
The final day will present more advanced applications. Protein-level mass spectrometry for proteoform analysis will be described and protein structural analysis, mostly through cross-linking, will be explained. The afternoon will focus on strategies for studying protein interactions and associations through affinity purification and proximity labeling.
The aim of the course is to provide each student with the fundamental knowledge to perform their own proteomic experiments. The overall goal is to train students to identify new opportunities and applications for proteomic approaches in their biological research.
