LERNZIELE

After the successful completion of this module
• the students have become familiar with knowledge of protein biochemistry,
• they are able to explain the principles of mass spectrometry as the key technology of proteomics,
• they are able to explain the current methods of bioinformatics for proteomics that are used for the analysis of raw data (i.e., mass spectra),
• they are able to identify and quantify peptides or proteins, respectively, and to interpret them biologically,
• they understand the underlying algorithmic and statistical concepts of these methods,
• they are able to use proteomics-specific software, tools, and / or algorithms,
• they are able to design and program own solutions,
• and they are able to apply the discussed software tools and methods to real data and problems.
