Introduction to Proteomics. Basic terms in the field of protein separation (electrophoresis, chromatography), mass spectrometry, image processing ("imaging"), use of gene and protein databases. Importance of expression, differential and functional proteomics. Proteomics technology, applications. Identification and characterization of proteins in proteomics. Partial separation of protein mixtures (conventional chromatography, affinity chromatography, preparative electrophoresis). One-dimensional (1-D) electrophoresis - SDS/PAGE. Two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis. Sample preparation. The first dimension - isoelectric focusing (IEF). Ampholytes, tubular IEF gels. Strips with an immobilized pH gradient ("IPG strips"). Methodology and instrumentation of IEF separation. Staining of IPG strips. Second dimension - SDS/PAGE. Composition of buffers. Preparation of gels. Instrumentation of SDS/PAGE separation (horizontal and vertical apparatus). Protein staining in SDS/PAGE gels, staining compatibility and mass spectrometry. Fluorescence staining of gels. Image analysis, densitometer, 2-D gel evaluation software. Comparison of two or more 2-D gels, difference. Excision of protein spots. Electroelution. Chemical and enzymatic cleavage of proteins in gel. Fission in solution. General principles of mass spectrometry. Ionization techniques used in proteomics. Electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix assisted ionization (MALDI). Ion analyzers, quadrupole (Q), ion trap (IT), time-of-flight analyzer (TOF), reflectron. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and its instrumentation. MALDI-TOF post source decay (PSD) technique. Peptide mapping (peptide mass fingerprinting), sequence analysis of peptides (de novo sequencing). Protein identification by searching databases. Search programs Mascot, Sequest and Protein Prospector. Organisms with unsequenced genome, EST database, MS Blast program. Multidimensional LC-MS/MS. Affinity chromatography and LC-MS/MS. Quantitative analysis in proteomics. H2O18, ICAT, SILAC, AQUA methods. Shotgun proteomics - a tool for the analysis of complex protein mixtures. SELDI MS, Clinical Proteomics.

Learning outcomes
|
Students learn about the history and focus of proteomics, separation methods for proteins, mass spectrometry of proteins and peptides, and methods of protein identification and quantification.
After completing the course, the student should be able to: - describe the basic proteomic methods of protein analysis in biological material - explain the theoretical basis of individual proteomic procedures that can be used in the analysis of proteins in biology - choose the appropriate method for the analysis of the given sample based on the desired results and the type of sample - analyze the proteins from the obtained results
