Course structure
The module will be delivered in 10 stand-alone blocks, each one composed of 3hr seminar-style sessions (mornings) and 4hr search of literature data and production of written reports (afternoons)
Credit requirements
You will be assessed on the basis of:
- Mid-course & end course evaluation session: problem-based assessment
- Relevant literature review and 4-page reports on specified aspects of the module
What does it cover?
- Introduction and basics of protein biochemistry
- Gel-based and gel-free separations
- Mass Spectrometric techniques
- Post-translational modifications and Interactomics
- Protein arrays technology
