Protein Identification Screencast

In this tutorial I would like to show you some basics of a protein identifications using mMass. The data I am using in this video corresponds to an in-gel digestion of a single band from 1-D electrophoresis. The sample was reduced by TCEP, alkylated by Iodoacetamide and digested by Trypsin. Mass spectrum was measured on a high-resolution FT-ICR mass spectrometer using MALDI ionization technique.

In this video you will learn how to perform the following tasks:

  • how to label peaks,
  • how to send data to Mascot's PMF tool,
  • how to define a new protein sequence and apply modifications,
  • how to perform in-silico digestion,
  • how to match theoretical data to acquired spectrum,
  • how to annotate matched peptides,
  • how to search unmatched peaks by Mascot's PMF tool,
  • how to search for non-specific peptides,
  • how to generate theoretical isotopic pattern,
  • how to generate Analysis Report.
