AN ADDITIVE SCORING METHOD FOR MODIFIED POLYPEPTIDE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing modified polypeptide sequence and modified information thereof. More precisely, the invention relates to a method for identifying modified peptide in which fragment ion signals are obtained from target peptide precursor by using tandem mass spectrometry, candidate peptides and every possible peptide fragmentation patterns thereof are designed based on the mass data thereby, match scores corresponding to each fragmentation pattern of candidate peptides are given, and then by combining each matching scores derived from possible fragmentation patterns of a candidate peptide, modified target polypeptide is identified by tandem mass data based on the provided match score. The scoring method for modified polypeptide of the present invention can greatly contribute to increasing searching efficiency of modified peptides and reliability of the searching results by integrating all scored values obtained from different fragmentation patterns of a candidate peptide.
