MS-Seq Instructions

A database searching tool from the that can be used to fit the peptide sequence tag data contained in a user's tandem mass spectrum to a peptide sequence in an existing database. This program works essentially as Wilm and Mann's program. We believe users will find to be a more comprehensive program and maintain this one primarily for our ongoing evaluation of homology tolerant search strategies.

Sample ID (comment):

Masses are:
Parent mass (m/z):
Charge (z):
Fragment-Ions:
Fragment ion series:
Enter the measured masses. These must all be from the selected ion series but consecutive series members can be missing.
