Mascot: The trusted reference standard for protein identification by mass spectrometry for 25 years

Exercise ADM1

Topic

Configure a new protein database for Mascot Server

Requirements

Administrator access to an in-house Mascot server.

Experimental

Add the h_pylori_pep database to your Mascot Server.

To download the fasta file, right-click this link: h_pylori_26695.pep.fasta, and choose Save target as or Save link as

The first few lines of the database are:

>HP0945.1 tRNA-associated protein (trl) {Helicobacter pylori 26695}
MSGCASSSPTGTLITMVTMPVSGNDAQYSKEGRASCWSVFSLVAAGNCSVEKAAKSGGVT

>HP0001 hypothetical protein {Helicobacter pylori 26695}
MATRTQARGAVVELLYAFESGNEEIKKIASSMLEEKKIKNNQLAFALSLFNGVLEKINEI
>HP0002 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase

Test the database using the following sequence query with a no enzyme or semi-trypsin search:
813.4 seq(PLANNER)

Tips

  • Suitable parse rules are already defined. You just have to select them

Questions

  • How many sequences are in the database?
  • How many residues are in the database?
  • Do any sequences have any invalid residues?
