– Aebersold R Nature (2003) 422(6928):115-6.

Summary: Efficiency Problem
• Only a (small) subset of peptides present is identified
• Current separation strategies do not have sufficient
resolving power
• MS/MS of every peptide in every experiment is a
bottleneck of current MS based proteomics
• LC-ESI MS/MS wastes a high fraction of MS/MS
cycles sequencing precursor ions that do not lead to
a positive identification
• Most positive identifications are not informative in
profiling experiments
• Smart precursor ion selection is required
Current Limitations
(and Potential Solutions)
• The efficiency problem
• The validation problem
• The biological inference problem

ProteinProphetTM software combines probabilities of peptides
assigned to MS/MS spectra to compute accurate probabilities
that corresponding proteins are present
Nesvizhskii et al Anal Chem. (2003)75:4646-58.
Issues for Protein Identification
• Many peptides are present in more than a single
database protein entry
ProteinProphet apportions such peptides among all
corresponding proteins to derive simplest list of proteins that
explain observed peptides
• Peptides corresponding to ‘single-hit’ proteins are less
likely to be correct than those corresponding to ‘multihit’ proteins
ProteinProphet learns by how much peptide probabilities
should be adjusted to reflect this protein grouping
information

Data Analysis Summary:
• Processing of data collected from different
platforms, samples, experiments, operators
requires transparent methods to score data
• Publication and relational database analysis
require consistently scored data
• Tools assigning probability based scores are
essential
• Openly accessible, transparent (OS) tools
bring in new talent and lead to community
improved tools
