Web-based educational resources have gained enormous popularity recently and are increasingly becoming a part of modern educational systems. Virtual Labs are E-learning platforms where learners can gain the experience of practical experimentation without any direct physical involvement on real bench work. They use computerized simulations, models, videos, animations and other instructional technologies to create interactive content. Proteomics being one of the most rapidly growing fields of the biological sciences is now an important part of college and university curriculums. Consequently, many E-learning programs have started incorporating the theoretical and practical aspects of different proteomic techniques as an element of their course work in the form of Video Lectures and Virtual Labs. To this end, recently we have developed a Virtual Proteomics Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, which demonstrates different proteomics techniques, including basic and advanced gel and MS-based protein separation and identification techniques, bioinformatics tools and molecular docking methods, and their applications in different biological samples. This Tutorial will discuss the prominent Virtual Labs featuring proteomics content, including the Virtual Proteomics Lab of IIT-Bombay, and E-resources available for proteomics study that are striving to make proteomic techniques and concepts available and accessible to the student and research community. This Tutorial is part of the International Proteomics Tutorial Programme (IPTP 14). Details can be found at: http://www.proteomicstutorials.org/.
基于网络的教育资源最近变得非常流行，并且越来越成为现代教育系统的一部分。虚拟实验室是电子学习平台，学习者可以在无需实际参与真实实验台的情况下获得实际实验的经验。它们使用计算机模拟、模型、视频、动画和其他教学技术来创建互动内容。蛋白质组学是生物科学中发展最快的领域之一，现在已经成为学院和大学课程的重要组成部分。因此，许多电子学习计划已经开始将不同蛋白质组学技术的理论和实践方面纳入其课程工作中，以视频讲座和虚拟实验室的形式展示。为此，最近我们在印度理工学院孟买开发了一个虚拟蛋白质组学实验室，展示了不同的蛋白质组学技术，包括基础和高级凝胶和基于 MS 的蛋白质分离和鉴定技术、生物信息学工具和分子对接方法，以及它们在不同生物样本中的应用。本教程将讨论具有蛋白质组学内容的突出虚拟实验室，包括印度理工学院孟买的虚拟蛋白质组学实验室，以及可用于蛋白质组学研究的电子资源，这些资源正在努力使蛋白质组学技术和概念可供学生和研究界使用和访问。本教程是国际蛋白质组学教程计划 (IPTP 14) 的一部分。详情请访问：http://www.proteomicstutorials.org/。
