If you want to select other information, right click in the window and choose layout, here you can choose between many different parameters (choose retention time and m/z in these experiments) 6) File Export Compounds and save the file as mgf. file 7) File Export Compounds and save the file as csv. File
Excel File Open and choose the csv.file The data will appear on the screen but in a messy way. Sort the data Mark the column Data in the upper toolbar Text to column make sure Delimited is checked Next Finish Remove the peak number so it wont disturb the comparison of the m/z Start at the top with the first mass find and replace (Ctrl H) are there many masses, then it is just garbage and not necessary to save replace them with 0 are there few peaks with that m/z and in several fractions compare the retention time approximately the same retention time it is probably a peptide mark the numbers red. When all fractions are compared and hopefully some m/z are marked red, go to the next step! Data analysis Mark the fraction you have found a potential peptide which is marked red (right click and drag, so the fraction is highlighted black). Choose Find in the toolbar Parameters (control that the parameters are set correctly, take a look in the upper section of this document to see the values of the Parameters). Choose Find CompoundsMS(n). The retention time and MS(n) isolation mass will appear down at the screen. If the data does not appear on the screen, choose Window Compounds List. In the left side of the screen under Analysis list, open the menu Compounds Mass Spectra and mark the Peak number with the m/z of interest and open the menu of that compound and mark e.g MS/MS (MS 2(631.4)) or mark the line with wanted retention time and m/z in the compound list.

If you want to remove some red signals for some reasons Right click choose Remove peaks right click and drag to make red signals to black! Choose the MS icon MS If you have run a tryptic digestion choose MS (missing cleavage is normally 1 or 2).

Click on the icon at the left in the upper toolbar and the sequence will automatically be copied in the sequence editor page. If the sequence is not copied in the Sequence Editor automatically, copy the sequence, but not the flang amino acids, and paste it in the page. To get information about b and y-ions, press Bio at the toolbar (both a, b and y ions will appear). http://www.ionsource.com/tutorial/denovo/denovotoc.htm and http://www.ionsource.com if you get 5 b and/or y ions that is good! (You can trust the a,b and y-ions. If you have the a ion and not the b ion, just add 28 Da (C=O) to the a ion and you have the b-ion). R1-Rx are called w-ions 1) Tolerance: 2 (use 2 in these experiments, when the tolerance is increased the score of the result is also increased).

(Choose View in the toolbar View MS/MS results then you will obtain the new and perhaps increased score. According to Albena, this score is more reliable than the Mascot score.) Choose Window in the toolbar and Show/Hide Treeview. A window will appear in the left of the screen with the Biotools score If you want to examine if there are any a/b-17 (NH3) or a/b-18 (water), choose the y- and b- button in the toolbar The Biotool score can be improved by a) choosing Oxidation (M) and pyro-glu (N-term Q) and pyro-glu (Nterm E) (tar med begge fordi man vet ikke hva som er på hvilken ende) as variable modifications b) choosing Missing cleavage mix : 2 (it is normally 1) c) if Biotool detect phosphoro
Quantification Data analysis Open the TIC for the wanted analysis Open the SIM for the specific ion if there are several peaks with the specific m/z check the mass spectrum and if necessary send the MS/MS spectrum to Mascot and control if the same peptide sequence appear as the original m/z. If the peak shape is poor, improve the shape by changing the m/z value to the exact mass (e.g. SIM of 631.4 but the chromatography shows that the most abundant m/z is 630.6 make a SIM of 630.6 and compare the peak shape). Mark the SIM file Integrate the peak manually, by choosing the icon then the peak area, retention time (RT) and range (pluss other parameters) appear at the end of the screen. Excel Open Excel Write the retention time and peak area of the internal standard (IS). If the compounds are separated into several peaks, sum the peak areas together and calculate the sample concentration by dividing the sample peak area with the area of the internal standard.
Normalize the concentration to 100 mg, then it is easier to compare the concentrations (e.g. µg/mg brain * 100 mg). If the retention time of the internal standard varies a lot, normalize the retention time as well ( e.g. tr/tr (IS)).
