Peptide library building from MaxQuant. luzjpaulo  2019-05-20 18:11
 

I created a library from MaxQuant using the latest Skyline-daily update but I found out an issue. Skyline-daily gives me very bad peptide spectrum matches while Skyline does not have this problem.

Hi Paulo,

Can you attach the FASTA as well? I'm trying to reproduce the issue.

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce. Where are you seeing the "very bad peptide spectrum matches"? When I look at the spectral libraries created by 4.2 and daily I see the same number of peptides, but the mods are correct in the daily version because of the MaxQuant fixed terminal mods bugfix.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for the attention. I guess it might be some bug in my PC. I tried to create some libraries with different cut off scores and I got some strange results. When I used the cut off score equal to 1, for instance, I got 7 peptides that are not the best ones. while I tried using the cut off scores of 0 and 0.95 I got the same number of peptides. Do you have any thoughts on that? I am not a specialist so I might missing something.

Where are you getting the 7 peptide number from? A cutoff of 1 should mean all spectra are allowed (minus duplicates and ambiguous).

I found the number 7 in the spectral library explorer. I found a solution to my problem though . I put the msms, mqpar and modificatios files in a different folder and I built the library using the embebbed option. At this time the library showed very good matches. I think my problem is solved.
