Mass-Spectrometry based Proteomics II: Quantification and Post-Translational Modifications
07 February 2018
For-profit: 0 CHF
No future instance of this course is planned yet
Overview
Following up on the course Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics I: Protein Identification, the goal of this second part is to give more advanced theoretical and practical knowledge on the mass spectrometry (MS) techniques used in proteomics, in particular for the characterization of post-translational modifications (PTMs) and the quantitation of protein in complex mixtures. The course will cover the following subjects:
- Strategies for PTM identification in proteins by MS: theory and concepts
- PTM data analysis practical examples and exercises: phosphorylation
- Quantitation of proteins by MS: labeled and unlabeled strategies
- Quantitative workflows and examples of applications.
Audience
This course is addressed to all students/scientists interested in the subjects of proteomics and mass spectrometry. The level is intermediate, meaning that there are some prerequisites (see below).
Learning objectives
The participants will be introduced to:
- post-translational modifications identification by mass spectrometry
- quantification workflows in proteomics
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to be able to:
- identify PTMs from mass spectrometry data
- process quantification data from MaxQuant with Perseus
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies
This course is designed for intermediate users and there are the following requirements: basic knowledge of proteomics based on mass spectrometry and basic computer skills (program install, but no programming) are required. Previous participation to the course "Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics I" or a similar one is a plus.
Technical
You are required to bring your own laptop and to install Scaffold and Perseus software (more information later).
