Content
The evolving field of mass spectrometry based proteomics has brought new crucial insights for the understanding of living organisms. Fast progress in the instrumentation of mass spectrometers and the development of different software tools, have enabled the easy elucidation of protein identity, posttranslational modifications, protein dynamics, interaction partners and protein structure with high speed and throughput. The idea of having it as standard method in the lab is soon a reality. Therefore it is necessary to get an understanding of the basics of the functions of the mass spectrometers, protein separation techniques, and the data analysis and evaluation.

This course will give an overview for these three parts of proteomics with a focus on protein identification, posttranslational modification and quantification with a focus on the research and interest of the participants. It will be especially relevant for PhD students, who are interested in solving biological questions in plants during their own PhD-project and will provide an entrance point to the importance of experimental design, and introduction hands-on mass spectrometer use and subsequent data evaluation.

The course will cover the theory of mass spectrometry, different proteomics approaches with the possibility to discuss the biological questions relevant to their own research topics together with invited proteomics specialists, a short hands-on experience at the mass spectrometer and the basics of data evaluation with a small given proteomics project. (In case you are interested in, you could also bring your own material to prepare your own proteomics sample. This would need to be discussed before the course with the course responsible, cause there might be some restrictions)
