Analyze.

  • Perform targeted analysis of a single proteoform or multiple proteoforms.

  • Input proteoforms for a single fragment spectrum and match all of the theoretical fragment ions to the spectral data.

  • Match precursor ions to precursor spectral data.

  • Perform fragmentation matching on data from a wide range of fragmentation techniques, including CID, HCD, ETD, ECD, EThcD, ETciD, and UVPD.

Visualize.

  • Characterize proteoforms using fragmentation evidence.

  • Analyze fragmentation spectra and corresponding matching ions to confidently localize proteoform modifications.

  • Overlay matching ions from different proteoforms on the same spectra and uses a host of visualization tools and metrics to power in-depth study of proteoforms.

  • Look for internal fragment ions formed during fragmentation processes. The ions can be visualized by color gradient heat map on the fragment map itself. Internal fragment ions can provide additional evidence for modification site localization, increasing confidence in assignments.

Validate.

  • Assess fragmentation coverage using fragmentation maps and related metrics.

  • Validate fragmentation ion matches to confirm post-translational modification site assignments.
