摘要:Mass spectrometry is a very important tool to elucidate many aspects of modern biochemistry. This proposal aims to enable that any graduate student get an initial contact with this technique through simulations in practical classes. Low cost and simple implementation enable and facilitate its application. The student can understand the basic principles of mass spectrometry and enable data interpretation obtained through this methodology. This simulation can provide to students an initial contact with modern research tools on Internet databases for structural similarity, as well as the elucidation of possible secondary structures in biomolecules. After application of this proposal it is expected that students can understand better and more critically the data from these advanced characterization techniques largely used in biochemical and molecular sciences.
