CHEM 4558 is an advanced analytical chemistry course covering mass spectrometry. Students are either advanced undergraduates or graduate students, typically doctoral candidates in chemistry. This course covers the fundamentals of mass spectrometry, including ion formation, mass separation, detection and structure determination. There will be sections on organic mass spectrometry and compound identification as well as biological mass spectrometry covering proteomics, metabolomics, and other -omics methods. There are periodic assignments (homework and quizzes), a midterm, and a final examination. In addition, students will pick a mass spectrometry or related topic and develop or expand a Wikipedia article on that topic.
