Peptide and Fragment Ion Calculator

MZCal

MZCal is an online tool that calculates physiochemical properties for a given peptides, including monoisotopic mass, MZ values, fragment values and predicted fragment intensities (via MSPIP). The tool supports isotopic labelling and modifications on any amino acid.

Andrew+ Proteomics Sample Prep Automation

Sample Prep Automation

Andrew+ Proteomics Sample Prep Automation takes a list (or multiple lists!) of samples and generates protocols compatible with an Andrews Plus robot for performing a protein assay, protein digestion or peptide desalting from either tube or 96-well plate formats.

HiLight-PTM

HiLight-PTM

HiLight-PTM is an online tool that highlights m/z peaks from peptide fragmentation (MS/MS) spectra that have matching masses, and those which have a predictable mass-shift owing to the incorporation of an isotopic label. Using this tool, we can extract pairs of MS/MS spectra that contain correlative fragments. Coupled to this, we use retention-time matching and compare the ratio of precursor isotopic peaks to match heavy/light peptide at both the MS1 and MS2 level. By doing this, we can interrogate when standard database searching fails (e.g. owing to poor fragmentation scans from co-isolation or low intensity). We also use experimental fragmentation matching to in silico fragment ions independant of precursor mass. For a full description, click here.
