Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- review the principles of different types of ion sources (including MALDI, electrospray ionisation, field and plasma ionisation and desorption), mass analysers (including quadrupole, ion-trap, time-of-flight, ion cyclotron and FT mass analysers), ion detectors and computer-aided data processing in modern mass spectrometry
- discuss novel techniques of mass spectroscopic analysis of proteins in a solvent free environment
- interpret fragmentation patterns, particularly as applied to peptide mass fingerprinting
- illustrate how modern analytical techniques are used to gain insight into the dynamics of the living cell with particular emphasis on the interactions between protein and DNA
- ability to integrate all, or most, of the main areas of the course
- development of original and creative responses to problems and issues within the course
- application of critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis to issues at the forefront of the subject area |
