The next scheduled workshop is on Wednesday, April 9th, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., located in the 300 North Ingalls Building, 11th floor, Room 1125. The goal of the workshop is to enable our clients to critically evaluate proteome mapping data obtained from our facility. Topics covered in the workshop include:

- Introduction to Proteomics
- How to recognize if you have a good mass spectrum
- Common contaminants and artifacts in mass spectra
- How to generate a peak list
- Interpretation of MS and MS/MS spectra
- Database search engines and how to use them
- Interpretation of search results
- Online database searching
The workshop consists of presentations from MPC personnel and online training in database searching. A manual for interpretation of mass spectra will be distributed with the workshop.
In order to give each participant adequate attention, our workshop has limited enrollment.
