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; separation science, 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.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Classroom lectures. Support of uptodate scientific literature, slides and videos.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam aims at evaluating through a 2 hours written test, with open questions, the knowledge gained by the student over both the theory and the methodology in the field of functional proteomic investigations. The ability to organize and apply the knowledge.
Evaluation criteria
Evaluation of theoretical-applicative knowledge of the course topics; placing the answer in the global panorama of functional proteomics methods; detail of the answers; correctness of the equations and the meaning of the terms; language properties, assimilation of the specific technical-scientific language of the topic.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Final grade is in figures (1-30; 30 is the maximum). It is formed by the sum of the assessments of the single questions.
