Chem204: Introduction to Proteomics

Winter Quarter 2010

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 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).
