Protein Identification from Tandem Mass Spectra by Database Searching.
نویسنده
چکیده
Protein identification from tandem mass spectra is one of the most versatile and widely used proteomics workflows, able to identify proteins, characterize post-translational modifications, and provide semiquantitative measurements of relative protein abundance. This manuscript describes the concepts, prerequisites, and methods required to analyze a tandem mass spectrometry dataset in order to identify its proteins, by using a tandem mass spectrometry search engine to search protein sequence databases. The discussion includes instructions for extraction, preparation, and formatting of spectral datafiles, selection of appropriate search parameter settings, and basic interpretation of the results.

MIDAS: a database-searching algorithm for metabolite identification in metabolomics.
A database searching approach can be used for metabolite identification in metabolomics by matching measured tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) against the predicted fragments of metabolites in a database. Here, we present the open-source MIDAS algorithm (Metabolite Identification via Database Searching). To evaluate a metabolite-spectrum match (MSM), MIDAS first enumerates possible fragments from a m...
متن کاملNovel peptide identification from tandem mass spectra using ESTs and sequence database compression
Peptide identification by tandem mass spectrometry is the dominant proteomics workflow for protein characterization in complex samples. Traditional search engines, which match peptide sequences with tandem mass spectra to identify the samples' proteins, use protein sequence databases to suggest peptide candidates for consideration. Although the acquisition of tandem mass spectra is not biased t...

With the recent quick expansion of DNA and protein sequence databases, intensive efforts are underway to interpret the linear genetic information of DNA in terms of function, structure, and control of biological processes. The systematic identification and quantification of expressed proteins has proven particularly powerful in this regard. Large-scale protein identification is usually achieved...
متن کاملIn-depth analysis of tandem mass spectrometry data from disparate instrument types.
Mass spectrometric analyses of protein digests produce large numbers of fragmentation spectra that are not identified by routine database searching strategies. Some of these spectra could be identified by development of improved search engines. However, many of these spectra represent fragmentation of peptide components bearing modifications that are not routinely considered in database searche...
متن کاملMultiTag: multiple error-tolerant sequence tag search for the sequence-similarity identification of proteins by mass spectrometry.
The characterization of proteomes by mass spectrometry is largely limited to organisms with sequenced genomes. To identify proteins from organisms with unsequenced genomes, database sequences from related species must be employed for sequence-similarity protein identifications. Peptide sequence tags (Mann, 1994) have been used successfully for the identification of proteins in sequence database...
