Importantly, as the current knowledge about cellular pathways is far from complete, only a portion of the phosphoproteins can be placed into defined pathways. This partial knowledge also applies for the orthologous protein information as well as to the prediction of a kinase for a given phosphorylation sites.
PeptideProphet
When interpreting tandem mass spectrometry data, it is crucial to determine if an identification is correct. The PeptideProphet computes a probability if a given fragment ion spectrum was correctly identified by a given database search algorithm and assigns a score accordingly. Tryptic Termini As we analyze peptides in our tandem mass spectrometry experiments we have to digest the proteins using a protease. This is normally done using trypsin. Trypsin cleaves after arginine and lysine but exhibits also some unspecific cleavage. 2 tryptic ends means that both ends were correctly cut by trypsin. Peptide Mass Molecular mass of the phosphopeptide. DeltaCN The delta correlation score (dCn) is a score computed by the Sequest algorithm which we use to interpret tandem mass spectra. Oversimplified, the dCn is a measure of the distance between the best database search hit and the the second best. In the case of phosphopeptides the dCn also correlates to the correctness of the phosphorylation site assignment within the phosphopeptide sequence. # Obs The number of times this phosphopeptide was identified in our experiments. # Mappings Maps to # gene models/maps to # of transcripts.
