This page provides protein annotations from InsPecT and MS-Alignment, run against various peptide MS/MS data-sets.

Annotated Mod Spectra


We have gathered high-confidence annotations of modified peptides as a publicly-accessible resource for other mass spectrometrists. The archive contains .dta files from an ion trap mass spectrometer, and a table of annotations. Modifications include deamidaition (net mass shift +1Da), oxidation (+16Da), methylation of cysteine (+14Da, annotated as -43 since it blocks the +57Da protecting group), and others.

For further information on the sample, please refer to Wilmarth et. al., "Analyzing Age-Related Changes in Human Eye by Comparative Analysis of Post-Translational Modifications in Young and Aged Lens: Do Modifications Contribute to Age-Related Loss of Solubility in Senile Cataracts?" (in preparation)
