Overview … • Search engines: peptide identification • Protein inference • De novo and spectral searches • Choosing the right protein sequence DB • You need to learn many things…
It should not be a black box… From: Lilley et al., Proteomics, 2011

Search engines Experimental Spectra Theoretical Spectra • How good is the correlation? • Scores are generated by search engines • Usually the best match is kept

The most popular algorithms • MASCOT (Matrix Science) • http://www.matrixscience.com • SEQUEST (Scripps, Thermo Fisher Scientific) • http://fields.scripps.edu/sequest • X!Tandem (The Global Proteome Machine Organization) • http://www.thegpm.org/TANDEM • OMSSA (NCBI) • http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omssa/
Overall concept of scores and cut-offs Incorrect identifications Threshold score Correct identifications False negatives False positives Adapted from: www.proteomesoftware.com – Wiki pages
Playing with probabilistic cut-off scores higher stringency identifications false positives
SEQUEST • Very well established search engine • Can be used for MS/MS (PFF) identifications • Based on a cross-correlation score (includes experimental peak height) • Published core algorithm (patented, licensed to Thermo Fisher Scientific) • Provides preliminary (Sp) score, rank, cross-correlation score (XCorr), • and score difference between the top tow ranks (deltaCn, Cn) • Thresholding is up to the user, and is commonly done per charge state • Many extensions exist to perform a more automatic validation of results XCorr = deltaCn=
Search engines: Sequest It measures how good the XCorr is relative to the next best match. The XCorr is high if the direct comparison is significantly greater than the background
Search engines: Mascot • Very well established search engine • Can do MS (PMF) and MS/MS (PFF) identifications • Based on the MOWSE score • Unpublished core algorithm (trade secret) • Predicts an a priori threshold score that identifications need to pass • From version 2.2, Mascot allows integrated decoy searches • Provides rank, score, threshold and expectation value per identification • Customizable confidence level for the threshold score
Search engines: Mascot www.matrixscience.com
Search engines: X!Tandem • Open source search engine • Can be used for MS/MS experiments • Based on a hyperscore, than only takes into account b and y ions. • Published core algorithm and it is freely available • Fast and able to handle PTMs in an iterative fashion • Used as an auxiliary search engine by-Score= Sum of intensities of peaks matching B-type or Y-type ions HyperScore=
Search engines: OMSSA • Open source search engine • Can be used for MS/MS experiments • Relies on a Poisson distribution • Published core algorithm and it is freely available • Provides an expectancy score, similar to the BLAST E-value • Very good performance in comparison with the others • Used as an auxiliary search engine

Spectral searching • Concept: To compare experimental spectra to other experimental spectra. • There are many spectral libraries publicly available (for instance, from NIST) • Custom ‘search engines’ have been developed: • SpectraST (TPP) • X!Hunter (GPM) • It has been claimed that the searches have more sensitivity that with sequence database approaches
