The high throughput analysis of proteins with mass spectrometry (MS) is highly valuable for understanding human biology, discovering disease biomarkers, identifying therapeutic targets, and exploring pathogen interactions. To achieve these goals, specialized proteomics subfields, including plasma proteomics, immunopeptidomics, metaproteomics, must tackle specific analytical challenges, such as an increased identification ambiguity compared to routine experiments. Technical advancements in MS...
Peptide collisional cross-section (CCS) prediction is complicated by the tendency of peptide ions to exhibit multiple conformations in gas phase. This adds further complexity downstream analysis proteomics data, for example identification or quantification through feature finding. Here, we present an improved version IM2Deep that trained on a carefully curated dataset predict CCS values multiconformational peptides. The training data derived from large and comprehensive set publicly...
Mass spectrometry-based discovery of bacterial immunopeptides presented by infected cells allows untargeted antigens that can serve as vaccine candidates. However, reliable identification epitopes is challenged their extremely low abundance. Here, we describe an optimized bioinformatic framework to enhance the confident immunopeptides. Immunopeptidomics data cell cultures with Listeria monocytogenes were searched four different search engines, PEAKS, Comet, Sage and MSFragger, followed...
