1. Introduction. The “Omics” sciences. Expressional, Functional, and Structural Proteomics.
2. Chromatographic methods (bi and multi dimensional) applied to proteome analysis. Multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT) and MultiDimensional Liquid Chromatography (MDLC).
3. Electrophoretic methods for proteome analysis. Isoelectrofocusing (carrier ampholytes IEF, and immobilized pH gradient, IPG). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, PAGE (SDS-, Native-, and Gradient-PAGE). Two dimensional maps.
4. Sample preparation for proteomic analysis. Cell disruption, removal of interfering substances, protein solubilization, and protein quantification.
5. Pre-fractionation of the sample for the proteome analysis of low abundance proteins. Dynamic range. Differential centrifugation; immunoprecipitation; multi-step extraction of protein; affinity removal (albumin depletion, and Protein Equalizer Technology); and isoelectric focusing based fractionation (Rotofor, and Multi-compartment electrolyzer).
6. Image analysis: PDQuest and other softwares. Comparative proteomic analysis.
7. Mass spectrometry analysis. Mass spectra.

Attendance modes and venues
As stated in the Didactic Regulations, there is no generalised obligation of attendance. Individual lecturers are, however, free to require a minimum number of hours of attendance for eligibilitỳ for the profit exam of the teaching they teach. In such cases, attendance of teaching activities is monitored in accordance with procedures communicated in advance to students.
Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.
The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which is composed of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma cluster, and Villa Lebrecht and Villa Eugenia located in the San Floriano di Valpolicella cluster.
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.
