Figure 1. Schematic representation of the step-wise development of Virtual Proteomics Laboratory.

Figure 1

Virtualization of proteomics data and experimental procedures from “bench-side” and storage in discrete compartments on the common “Virtual Lab server” for development of the course contents. Every experiment is explained in a step-by-step manner that follows the order of the tabs: theory, experimental procedure, simulator, video, download, assignment, quiz, references, and feedback. The server is connected to the Internet by a “LAN/WAN network” that contains the gateway portal and system firewall that protects the data from being changed by unauthorized people. The end users present on the “Client Side” can access the Virtual Lab via the LAN/WAN network portal. All course materials are freely available all over the world through the Internet and intended to be used in the teaching/learning experience particularly in universities and colleges. Moreover, the course content will be interesting and valuable for research labs working in the similar fields.
