PEPTIDE AND PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION METHOD

摘要

Method for identifying peptides and proteins, starting from the corresponding tandem spectrometry data. More specifically, the method comprises performing tandem mass spectrometry on a sample containing one or more protein or peptide, reducing each resulting spectrum to a peak list, listing possible interpretations for said peak list into an interpreted peak list taking into account physico-chemical knowledge, structuring said interpreted peak list into a structured representation taking into account biological knowledge, matching said structured representation with a biological sequence database, and determining the best peptide match or matches within said database.
