Lecturer :  Valérie Gabelica
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
1- Introduction to mass spectrometry of biopolymers. 2- Introduction to folding and non-covalent assembly 3- Special mass spectrometry techniques for the biophysical characterization of biopolymers: direct analysis of the complexes, dissociation methods, hydrogen/deuterium exchange and other chemical labeling methods, ion mobility spectrometry, ion spectroscopy. 4- Examples and generalizations in the case of proteins and nucleic acids.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
Understand which techniques is best appropriate to a given problem, what are the limitations of the different methods, what are the underlying assumptions in the data interpretation process.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
The presential lessons require active participation and try to stimulate critical thinking. A bibliography search and its critical analysis will be requested.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
About 5 lectures (2h)
Recommended or required readings :  
Copy of the slides. List of key review/tutorial articles.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Oral presentation of a literature analysis.
