Use degenerate amino acid sequence and mass data derived from mass spectroscopy experiments to search a peptide database.
Highlights:
De novo peptide sequencing is an approach to determine partial peptide sequences for some of the unidentified spectra.
DeNovoID is a program that has been specifically designed to use degenerate amino acid sequence and mass data derived from MS experiments to search a peptide database.
DeNovoID also uses a geometric indexing scheme that reduces the number of calculations required to determine the best peptide match in the database.
