Chem204: Introduction to Proteomics
Winter Quarter 2011
Starting with a review of protein chemistry, emphasizing chemical modification and separation technologies, the course will review current approaches to the study of proteomics and predict what is likely to be realized in the next several years.
In addition to the lectures, each student will present a review of a published paper selected by the instructors (see below) and write a paper on a topic of current interest to the field (from a list provided, or select their own topic after instructor approval).
Lecture Series
All lectures will take place from 9:00am - 10:30am in room GH-S202.
(*except on 1/20/11, when class will be held in Rock Hall 102)

Student Presentations
Students taking this course for credit are required to select and present two papers to the class. Topics for the first paper will be drawn from lectures 2-10 and topics for the second paper will be drawn from lectures 11-20. For each set of lectures, the instructors will select an assorment of papers and students will need to select a paper and email the course organizer the paper selected and the day for the presentation. Assignments are done on a first-come basis.
