A method and system for searching for an optimal sequence of subunits from among possible sequences of subunits. A described embodiment provides for evaluating each possible subunit sequence of a biopolymer with respect to a mass spectrum produced by ionizing and fragmenting the mass-tagged biopolymer in order to determine the most probable subunit sequence of the biopolymer. However, unlike in the currently practiced, permutations-based methods, an efficient combinations-based search is used to hierarchically partition all possible subunit sequences, and to assign maximum subunit-sequence rankings to the partitions, in order to computationally efficiently extract the most probable subunit sequence.
