This course will give an introduction of proteomics and mass spectrometry workflows, experimental design, and data analysis with a focus on algorithms for extracting information from experimental data. The following subjects will be covered in: (1) Protein identification (peptide mass fingerprinting, tandem mass spectrometry, database searching, spectrum library searching, de novo sequencing, significance testing); (2) Protein char­acterization (protein coverage, top-down proteomics, post-translational modifications, protein processing and degradation, protein complexes); (3) Protein quantitation (metabolic labeling - SILAC, chemical labeling, label-free quantitation, spectrum counting, stoichiometry, biomarker discovery and verification). Examples will be provided throughout the course on how the different approaches can be applied to investigate biological systems. The class will be structured to include hands-on practical techniques for analyzing relevant proteomics datasets.
