Mascot vs FragPipe: Uncovering endogenous proteolytic processing

Studying endogenous proteolytic processing, or N-terminomics, typically involves selective enrichment of protein N-termini. An alternative is to use the standard shotgun LC-MS/MS approach with the unenriched sample, which requires the database search to identify semi-specific peptides. Mascot Server 3.0 includes MS2PIP machine learning models for fragment intensity prediction, which can give a big boost to semi-specific identifications. Recent versions of [...]

Best MS2PIP model for Thermo Orbitrap

Mascot Server 3.0 greatly improves protein and peptide identification rates with Thermo Orbitrap instruments. The new version ships with MS2PIP, which provides fragment intensity predictions. When the database search results are correlated with predicted spectra, it boosts the number of statistically significant matches even with straightforward tryptic digests. CID and HCD models For qualitative work and label-free quantitation, Mascot Server [...]
