5Quizzes
Proteomics
Explore the large-scale study of proteins—their structure, function, and interactions. Topics include mass spectrometry, protein expression, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions.
Introduction to Proteomics
A beginner quiz on the definition of the "proteome" and its complexity.
Mass Spectrometry Basics
An advanced quiz on the principles of MALDI-TOF and ESI mass spec.
Protein Separation: 2D-PAGE
Understand 2D gel electrophoresis (isoelectric focusing + SDS-PAGE).
Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs)
A quiz on the common PTMs, such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, and ubiquitination.
Protein-Protein Interactions
Explore methods like yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP).
Dictionary
Key Proteomics Terms
Plain definitions, with how to say each word and where it comes from.
- Isoelectric focusing
Isoelectric focusing is a technique that separates proteins by their isoelectric point, the pH at which a protein carries no net electric charge.
- Mass spectrometry
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that turns molecules into charged ions and sorts them by mass-to-charge ratio to identify and measure them.
- Proteome
A proteome is the complete collection of proteins made by a cell, tissue or organism at a given time, including all their modified forms.
- Proteomics
Proteomics is the large-scale study of the proteome, the full set of proteins in a cell, tissue or organism, including their amounts, changes and interactions.
- SDS-PAGE
SDS-PAGE is a lab technique that separates proteins by size, coating them in a charged detergent and pulling them through a gel with an electric field.
- Western blot
A Western blot is a laboratory method that detects a specific protein in a sample by separating proteins by size on a gel and probing them with antibodies.
