Abstract

The present teachings provide for identification of peptides using small sequence tags to focus computational resources on searching regions of a protein database that are the most likely to yield correct identifications. They allow for the incorporation of modifications and in doing so focuses the search to peptides with a precursor mass match. Additionally, probability or relevance factors can be used to determine peptide hypotheses. Various embodiments are presented that search for peptides when a single precursor is selected or when multiple precursors are simultaneously fragmented.
