Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about the proteomics disciplines. Methods and techniques will be exemplified in order to lead the students able to solve proteomics and protein biochemistry problems.
Program
Protein biochemistry. Protein hydrodynamic, amino acid reactivity, post-translational modification (PTM) and reactivity.
Protein extraction methods and sample preparation. Protein extraction methods, protein quantification, cellular and protein fractionation.
Chromatography. Principles, Molecular exclusion chromatography, Hydrophobic interaction chromatography, Reversed-phase chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography. HPLC, FPLC. Gas chromatography.
Electrophoretic and proteomics. Principles. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Native and denaturing PAGE. Isoelectric focusing (IEF). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE). Gel staining and analysis. Western Blotting. Spot picking and post-processing.
Mass spectrometry. Introduction to MS. Ionization techniques, MS analyzer. Device coupling and instrumental configurations.
Protein identification. Edman degradation, Tandem MS, CID – Collision induced dissociation. ETD and ECD. Protein sequencing by MS. Peptide Mass Fingerprinting
Bio-informatics tools for protein identification.

Functional networks: Reactome, STRING, PANTHER, DAVID, KEGG. Omic data integration.
Laboratory workshops.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
The student must demonstrate the understanding of the concepts and theories provided by the course. Not only is required the knowledge of the described methods, but also the chemical and physical principles behind the methods (provided during the course). Students have to demonstrate their ability to reason by the discipline logic, and have to independently solve proteomics problems
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
