Introduction

About Tutorial

This tutorial provides basic instruction on the use of StPeter for label-free quantification of proteins inferred from shotgun MS/MS spectra. It is recommended that users are familiar with performing data conversion, database searches, peptide validation, and protein inference within TPP. For additional instruction on how to perform these tasks, we recommend the broader [[TPP_Tutorial|TPP Tutorial]. For simplicity, the tutorial makes use of the Petunia interface. However, advanced users can replicate all steps from the command line.

Requirements and TPP Versions

1. Proteome Exchange dataset PXD001819 (RAW files only)
2. This FASTA sequence database
3. TPP Version 5.0 or newer

Description of Data

Tutorial

Searching the Data

• Log into the Petunia interface and set the pipeline to Comet.
• Navigate to TPP Tools > mzML/mzXML
• Convert all Thermo RAW files from PXD001819 to mzML.
• Navigate to TPP Tools > Comet Search
• Search all mzML files with the provided FASTA file and with the following Comet search parameters (leaving all other as default):
  • add_C_cysteine = 57.021464
  • variable_mod01 = 15.9949 M 0 3 -1 0 0
  • peptide_mass_tolerance = 25
  • peptide_mass_units = 2
  • isotope_error = 1
  • fragment_bin_tol = 1.0005
  • fragment_bin_offset = 0.4
