IsotopeFit – data extraction and processing software for cluster mass spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synopsis We are developing a software capable of aiding in evaluation of complex cluster mass spectra. Theoretical knowledge of characteristic isotopic pattern of each fragment is used to create a matrix of all fragments contained in the mass spectrum. Least squares routine is employed to find abundances of these fragments. Currently, efforts are concentrated on making the software efficient enough to run on common computers with reasonable performance and execution times.

Extracting cluster distributions from mass spectra: IsotopeFit
The availability of high resolution mass spectrometry in the study of atomic and molecular clusters opens up challenges for the interpretation of the data. In complex systems each resolved mass peak may contain contributions from multiple species because of the isotope structure of constituent elements and because a multitude of different types of clusters with different compositions are presen...

Mass Spectrometry (MS) based proteomics is becoming a powerful, widely used technique in order to identify different molecular targets in different pathological conditions [1]. Proteomics experiments involve different and heterogeneous technological platforms so a clear understanding of the function and errors related to each one has to be taken into account. In particular, data produced by mas...

MOTIVATION Independent component analysis (ICA) is a signal processing technique that can be utilized to recover independent signals from a set of their linear mixtures. We propose ICA for the analysis of signals obtained from large proteomics investigations such as clinical multi-subject studies based on MALDI-TOF MS profiling. The method is validated on simulated and experimental data for dem...
