UNIT I PROTEOMICS AND BIOLOGICAL MASS- SPECTROMETRY

Over- view of strategies used for the identification and analysis of proteins; Basics of Mass spectrometry (MS) and bimolecular analysis; One- dimensional (1-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of proteins; Enzymatic cleavage of proteins in solution; In-gel digestion of protein bands; Electrophoretic transfer of proteins on to membranes (PVDF).

UNIT II MASS-SPECTROMETRY IN PROTEOMICS

Common ionization methods for peptide/protein analysis (MALDI and ESI); Principles of Time of Flight (TOF), Ion Trap (IT), Quadrupole (Q), Fourier Transform-Ion cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR), and Orbitrap mass analyzers; Collision-Induced Dissociation (CID) of peptides; Introduction to Ion detectors.

UNIT III SEPARATION AND PROCESSING OF PROTEINS FOR PROTEOMICS ANALYSIS

Protein extraction from biological samples (Mammalian Tissues, Yeast, Bacteria, and Plant Tissues); 2-DE of proteins for proteome analysis; Difference in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE); Liquid chromatography separations in proteomics (Affinity, Ion Exchange, Reversed-phase, and size exclusion); Strategies for multidimensional liquid chromatography in proteomics; Analysis of complex protein mixtures using Nano-liquid chromatography (Nano-LC) coupled to Mass-spectrometry analysis.

UNIT IV COMPARATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PROTEOMICS

Rapid identification of Bacteria based on spectral patterns using MALDI- TOF- MS. Comparative proteomics based on global in-vitro andin-vivo labeling of proteins/peptides followed by Mass spectrometry analysis: ICAT, iTRAQ, SILAC. Analysis of Post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins; Enrichment and analysis of phospho- and glyco- proteins; Characterization of protein interactions using yeast two-hybrid system, Co- immunoprecipitation followed by MS, and Protein micro arrays.

UNIT V PROTEOMICS INFORMATICS

Identification of proteins by PMF and MS/MS data; Database search engines for MS data analysis (Mascot, Sequest, and others); Proteomics informatics strategies for biomarker discovery, analysis of protein functions and pathways. Applications of proteomics (Disease diagnosis, drug development, and plant biotechnology)
