Hi Ray, I suspect that SpectraST will recognize this notation:
n[42]MFLVNSFLK N terminal modifications are shown after an n. Side-chain modifications are shown after the residue.

While converting it issues error message for peptides with Protein N-term modifications *"MS2 IMPORT: Peptide ID has unknown modification: "M[+42.01056]FLVNSFLK". Skipped spectrum"* I guess I can write this as user defined modification in a file and specify the file name with *-M *option in the command line *M[n]|+42.01056|Protein_N-term* and the following command *spectrast.exe -cNmyLib -M SpectraST_MyMod.txt myLib.ms2* I guess the syntax I wrote is wrong because SpectraST still skips those modifications. Can anyone help me with the correct synatx and command please? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
