Abstract

Validate your results! High-accuracy mass spectrometric analysis and composition-based de novo sequencing (CBS) combined with database(DB)-assisted protein identification allows for the rapid production of validated analytical results in proteome research. A simplified sample preparation scheme is sufficient to provide for reliable identification of proteins even when following nonspecific and unknown degradation processes.

Methods and tools

  • Composition-based sequencing: Two-step database-free strategy enabled by FT-ICR mass accuracy: determine the peptide’s amino acid COMPOSITION first, then score only the permutations that composition allows, which is a far smaller search space than conventional de novo sequencing explores.
