When less can yield more - Computational preprocessing of MS/MS spectra for peptide identification.

چکیده
The effectiveness of database search algorithms, such as Mascot, Sequest and ProteinPilot is limited by the quality of the input spectra: spurious peaks in MS/MS spectra can jeopardize the correct identification of peptides or reduce their score significantly. Consequently, an efficient preprocessing of MS/MS spectra can increase the sensitivity of peptide identification at reduced file sizes and run time without compromising its specificity. We investigate the performance of 25 MS/MS preprocessing methods on various data sets and make software for improved preprocessing of mgf/dta-files freely available from http://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/mip/proteomics or http://www.childrenshospital.org/research/steenlab.

Peptide Identification from Mixture Tandem Mass Spectra*□S
The success of high-throughput proteomics hinges on the ability of computational methods to identify peptides from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS). However, a common limitation of most peptide identification approaches is the nearly ubiquitous assumption that each MS/MS spectrum is generated from a single peptide. We propose a new computational approach for the identification of mixture spectra gen...
متن کاملImproved peptide identification in proteomics by two consecutive stages of mass spectrometric fragmentation.
MS-based proteomics usually involves the fragmentation of tryptic peptides (tandem MS or MS(2)) and their identification by searching protein sequence databases. In ion trap instruments fragments can be further fragmented and analyzed, a process termed MS/MS/MS or MS(3). Here, we report that efficient ion capture in a linear ion trap leads to MS(3) acquisition times and spectra quality similar ...
متن کاملTwo different Methods in Protein Identification by Mass Spectrometry
There are tow major methods that are widely used for protein identification by mass spectrometry: MALDI-TOF based protein fingerprinting and LC-MS/MS based peptide sequencing. In the MALDI-TOF based protein fingerprinting method, a sample is digested with certain proteolytic enzyme (usually trypsin) and one MS spectrum is acquired which generates the massed of all peptides (or MH+), and these m...
متن کاملPeptide identification by tandem mass spectrometry with alternate fragmentation modes.
The high-throughput nature of proteomics mass spectrometry is enabled by a productive combination of data acquisition protocols and the computational tools used to interpret the resulting spectra. One of the key components in mainstream protocols is the generation of tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra by peptide fragmentation using collision induced dissociation, the approach currently used in the lar...
متن کاملOptimization-Based Peptide Mass Fingerprinting for Protein Mixture Identification
In current proteome research, the most widely used method for protein mixture identification is probably peptide sequencing. Peptide sequencing is based on tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data. The disadvantage is that MS/MS data only sequences a limited number of peptides and leaves many more peptides uncovered. Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) has been widely used to identify single purifie...
