Data processing …before searching • Baseline correct • Noise reduction • Peak deisotope for monoisotopic peaks …what is a monoisotopic peak • Copy to Excel and sort for peak intensity • Search with the top 75 peak ions (peptides)
Generate mass list of all peptides • Computer program used to convert graph data (from mass spectrum) to table data (list of peptide masses)
Simple Mass Spectrum Intensity 681.7 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Mass (Da)

Coverage = 26% We found peptides that make up only ¼ of the entire protein – but this is enough for a confident identification!
