pFind Studio: a computational solution for mass spectrometry-based proteomics

Introduction

pLabel is a mass spectral peak labeling software developed for proteomics research. Main Functions:

1. Supporting labeling a batch of spectra. Data and search result can be imported directly at the same time.

2. Supporting multiple formats of data type (dta, mgf, ms2) and results of multiple search engines (pFind, Mascot, SEQUEST).

3. Supporting ECD/ETD spectra labeling.

4. Supporting multiple AA sites, multiple types of modification.

5. Supporting a flexible way of labeling NLs (neutral losses).Users can self-define an NL with its molecular formula or mass.

6. Supporting statistical function.

7. Supporting spectra exporting to different formats of picture (jpg, bmp, tiff, png) in single or batch mode.
