Proteomics & Protein Function Analysis

From mass spec to molecular networks — identify every protein.

Proteomics is the missing piece of the transcriptomics story. This course teaches you to process quantitative proteomics data, annotate proteins with functional domains, and build the interaction networks that reveal how proteins work together in disease.

Curriculum

What you will learn

Every session is hands-on. Every topic comes with practical exercises using real biological datasets.

Week 1

Mass Spectrometry & Protein Identification

  • ESI and MALDI ionisation, Orbitrap mass analyser, ion trap
  • Bottom-up workflow: trypsin digest → LC-MS/MS → database search
  • MaxQuant: LFQ intensity extraction, missing value imputation
  • FDR at PSM, peptide, and protein level — what 1% FDR means
Week 2

Quantitative Proteomics & Annotation

  • Quantification methods: LFQ, SILAC, iTRAQ/TMT, DIA/SWATH
  • Perseus: statistical testing, volcano plots, hierarchical clustering
  • InterPro: Pfam, PRINTS, ProSite, SMART, PANTHER — domain annotation
  • GO term annotation: MF, BP, CC — evidence codes explained
Week 3

Protein Interaction Networks

  • STRING: experimental vs predicted edges, confidence scores
  • BioGRID, IntAct, MINT: curated interaction databases
  • Network metrics: degree centrality, betweenness, clustering coefficient
  • Cytoscape: MCODE community detection, style mapping, export

Outcomes

What students say

Trusted by researchers worldwide

Students from 40+ countries have transformed their careers with noblekinbio courses.

"This program changed how I do research. I went from copy-pasting BLAST results to writing my own pipelines. The hands-on approach is unlike any other bioinformatics course I have taken."

CO

Chioma Okonkwo

PhD Student, University of Lagos

"Dr. Noble explains complex algorithms in a way that finally clicks. I completed C04 and C05 and immediately applied them to our malaria genomics project."

EA

Emmanuel Asante

Bioinformatics Analyst, Ghana Health Service

"I was sceptical about an online course being truly hands-on. I was wrong. Every session I was actually running code, not just watching. The Snakemake module alone was worth it."

FA

Fatima Al-Rashidi

Molecular Biology Researcher, Jordan

"C10 gave me the drug discovery computational skills I needed to transition from wet lab to computational research. I have already applied QSAR modelling in my current role."
