The main significance of proteomics research is studying the phenomenon of life and promoting human health. Protein is the executor of physiological function and the direct embodiment of life. The study of protein structure and function will directly clarify the mechanism of life under physiological or pathological conditions. Some phenomena of life are not only determined by a certain protein, but also by the interaction of multiple proteins, which requires the study of proteomics.
Performing mass spectrometry based proteomics requires background knowledge and experience. Also, understanding and handling mass spectrometry data is a multifaceted task that requires many decisions to be made to get the most comprehensive information from an experiment.
In this course, we therefore aim to provide an overview of state-of-art techniques for the analysis and characterization of protein and peptide samples by mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
This course will surely help in understanding concepts like:
- in-depth basics of mass spectrometry
- sample preparation for analysis in mass spectrometer
- type of instrumentations,
- fragmentation method
- quantitative proteomics techniques such as iTRAQ, SILAC and TMT using mass spectrometry
- analysis strategy best suited to an individual sample as this technique is mostly used in proteomics based research nowadays.
Also, how mass spectrometer can be used to accurately distinguish different isoforms or modified forms of proteins (Post translational modification), even in mixtures, that can provide added dimensions in the design of quantitative strategies and simplifies multiplex assay development.
Before proceeding with Hands-on training for any such technique a thorough understanding of the basics & its working principle is very much important.
With the Knowledge of Basic Concepts + Working Principle + Hands-On Experience in Mass Spectrometry mentioned in your CV, that dream research job of yours will not be far away.
