Course objectives
main objectives of lecture: introduction into bioanalytics; at the end of the course students should be able - to understand approaches in analysis of biomacromolecules and suprabiomolecular structures (nucleic acids, proteins and their complexes, lipidic structures), with special regard to utilisation of mass spectrometry as a versatile analytical tool; - to manage the basic theoretical background for understanding of those approaches
Syllabus
  • 1) analytical approaches in bioanalytics – demands; high throughput, shotgun analysis, standardisation
  • affinity methods – principles, carry-out and use (separation, interaction studies), IMAC, APAGE
  • 2) immunoanalytical methods – principles; immunoanalysis – precipitation, agglutination, immunoassay, methods: FIA, LIA, RIA, EIA, ELISA, IAC, IACE, SELDI…
  • 3) gel electrophoresis – principles, carry-out (1D, 2D); blotting
  • 4) genomics (analysis of DNA) – fundamentals of genetics (structure, function of DNA), analytical approaches: PCR, restriction enzymes; direct and indirect sequencing; DNA methylation and its analysis
  • 5) basics of mass spectrometry – principles; ionisation, mass analysis (tandem MS, vacuum technique), detection; mass spectrum
  • proteomics (analysis of proteins and their complexes) – fundamentals (structure of proteins and protein complexes)
  • expression proteomics – methodology, methods (2D HPLC, 2D PAGE, 2D imaging, MS: bottom-up, top-down)
  • 6) functional proteomics - methodology, methods (TAP-tagging, Two-Hybrid, SEAM strategy, ion-mobility strategy)
  • 7) bioinformatics in MS-assisted proteomics – identification of protein in organisms with and without sequenced genomes (MS BLAST, MultiTag)
  • 8) quantitative analysis of protein complexes – internal standard method; mass tagging (ICAT, ICMT, TMT, MCAT, GIST, SILAC, SIL), absolute quantification of proteins and peptides by MS
  • 9) structural proteomics – methodology (chemical cross-linking), methods (FTICR MS)
  • 10) lipidomics (analysis of lipids and cellular membranes) – fundamentals (structure and function of cellular membranes and their components), analytical approaches: lipid extraction, TLC, GC, LC, SFC, GPC, MS analysis (PIS, HGS, FAS), shot-gun analysis

Teaching methods
the lecture is based on ppt presentation and its explication. presentation it-self will be available as a study material (black-and-white printable pdf with high resolution and restricted access rights). it is recommended to attend the lecture, because of the explication, which significantly extends the presentation and because of limited availability of textbooks in english covering certain parts of the subject.
Assessment methods
oral examination; students are required to understand and be familiar with the principles and its applications. examination consists of three basic questions, which would be during the examination expanded to let the student demonstrate the extent of topic understanding.
Language of instruction
English
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
The course is taught annually.
The course is taught: every week.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2010 - only for the accreditation, Autumn 2008, Autumn 2009, Autumn 2010, Autumn 2011.
