Course objectives
The teaching is part of the general objective of the course to provide knowledge and skills in the field of analytical biological chemistry, with particular reference to the knowledge and understanding of instrumental analytical methodologies currently in use in the laboratories of chromatography-mass spectrometry:
1) Detailed knowledge of extractive procedures of different classes of biomolecules (based on investigation of structure-chemical physics properties relationships).
2)Learning of instrumental analysis techniques (GC-MS and HPLC-MS).
3)Learning of basic mechanisms of mass spectra interpretation both of electronic impact and electrospray for a reliable identification of biological molecules.
4)Detailed definition of analytical pattern of particular complexity like those concerning the MS analysis of proteins.- Oggetto:
