I’ve never tried to import into PD, so I can’t help there. Presumably the ADD DECOY doesn’t change things like M[147], so I also do not understand why PD would recognize M[147] in a library with decoys but not in a library without?

My workflow was as follows: ProteomeDiscoverer 2.3 *msf * format search result files were converted to a * blib* file. The filtered *blib* file was converted to *sp2 *format. The* sp2* format file was finally converted to *sptxt *format library by SpectraST. While importing the sptxt format file (without adding any decoy) I've seen the amino acid modifications used like Methionine oxidation and Cysteine carbamidomethylation were not recognized by PD However if I ADD DECOY to the library, followed by its import to PD , the modifications show up in PD (see attached pics) This is how the header info. of one such modified amino acid peptide appears in the decoy-free library: Name: M[147]ATALPPR/2 LibID: 329 MW: 873.4731 PrecursorMZ: 436.7366 Status: Normal FullName: X.M[147]ATALPPR.X/2 (CID) Comment: AvePrecursorMz=437.0325 BinaryFileOffset=10637539 FracUnassigned=0.90,4/5;0.89,17/20;0.66,1314/1631 Fullname=X.M[147]ATALPPR.X/2 Prob=1.0000 ScanNum=2539.2539 Spec=Raw NumPeaks: 1631 Can somebody let me know how to incorporate these modifications so that they can be imported by ProteomeDiscoverer Image links: Decoy library <https://i.imgur.com/Yiz6QLt.png> NO-Decoy library <https://i.imgur.com/1lLKlwt.png> Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
