CHIM/01 - ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
Period
Semester 1 dal Oct 3, 2022 al Jan 27, 2023.
Learning objectives
The course aims at furnishing the theoretical and technological basis to approach the study of protein functions. The course integrates proteomic strategies, target identification, biochemical interaction analysis, protein arrays, informatics-based interaction prediction to address the investigation of the proteinogenic changes that underlie the disease pathomechanisms, with examples based on selected diseases.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of biochemistry, analytical biochemistry; hints of proteomics; mass spectrometry.
Program
Characteristics of protein, proteomes and proteomics
Proteomic platforms
Bioinformatic interacting networks
Protein arrays
Imaging SPR
Native MS analysis
Protein enrichment methods
Biochemical approaches to protein protein interaction
Identification of new therapeutic targets in breast cancer
All the supporting material (slides and research papers) will be found on the online platform.
Didactic methods
Frontal classroom lessons. Support of recent scientific literature.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam aims at evaluating through a 2 hours written test, composed by open questions, the knowledge gained by the student over both the theory and the methodology in the field of functional proteomic investigations.
Evaluation criteria
Evaluation of the theoretical-applicative knowledge of the topics of the course; placement of the response in the global landscape of methods for functional proteomics; detail of the answers; correctness of the equations and of the meaning of the terms; language skills;
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Final grade is the sum of the assessments of the individual questions.
Exam language
english or italian
