ProSight Lite Released at ASMS 2014

This year, at the 62nd ASMS meeting in Baltimore, MD, we released ProSight Lite, a free Windows application for matching a single candidate sequence and its modifications against a set of mass spectrometric observations.

Three Top Down Informatics Papers Published

In 2014, we have released three papers on top down proteome informatics.

• Autopilot: an online data acquisition control system for the enhanced high-throughput characterization of intact proteins.
• Applying label-free quantitation to top down proteomics.
• The C-Score: A Bayesian Framework to Sharply Improve Proteoform Scoring in High-Throughput Top Down Proteomics.

Welcome

ProSight PTM 2.0 allows identification and characterization of both intact proteins and peptides. Our PTM Warehouses are annotated with all known post-translational modifications (PTMs), alternative splicing events and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using the technique of Shotgun Annotation developed in the Kelleher Research Group. ProSightPTM is the only proteomics software that allows the user to search their tandem MS data against PTM Warehouses containing the known biological complexity present in UniProt.

Don't guess where the PTMs are, use ProSight.

ProSightPC 3.0 allows analysis of Thermo Fisher .RAW LC-MS/MS data. ProSightPC provides:

• Automated Data Analysis: LC-MS/MS RAW files can be batch processed in ProSightPC, eliminating the tedious work of making separate online ProSightPTM experiments.
• Iterative Search Trees: ProSightPC has an iterative searching mode (ProSightHT) that speeds up the automated searching of data.  By setting up a search tree with very tightly constricted searches before more complicated (and longer running) searches, data analysis time is significantly reduced.
• Biomarker Search Mode: Similar to a "no enzyme" search in other search engines, Biomarker Mode is useful for characterizing non-proteolytic peptides in biological samples.
• Bottom Up Support: It is our belief that FT-FT experiments (MS1/MS2) provide superior confidence to FT-IT experiments, though the latter is also supported.  Databases are available for download and can be created to customize your search space.
• Database Freedom: With ProSightPTM, you are constrained to the PTM Warehouses that we provide on the website (though we do add user-requested organisms on a case by case basis).  You can make use intact databases as are available with ProSightPTM or digested databases.  Lys-C and Trypsin digested databases for several common organisms are also available for download from our servers.  Additionally, ProSightPC offers the freedom to create your own databases based on SwissProt and FASTA files that you can generate or download from the internet.
• Error Tolerant Searching: Delta M Mode allows for localization of one unknown mass shift anywhere on a peptide or protein.
• Multiplexing: If ProSightPC detects two precursors in the isolation window for tandem MS, both will be searched against our databases and accurate scores will be provided.
