TY - JOUR AU - Tiengo, Alessandra AU - Barbarini, Nicola AU - Troiani, Sonia AU - Rusconi, Luisa AU - Magni, Paolo PY - 2009 DA - 2009/10/15 TI - A Perl procedure for protein identification by Peptide Mass Fingerprinting JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - S11 VL - 10 IS - 12 AB - One of the topics of major interest in proteomics is protein identification. Protein identification can be achieved by analyzing the mass spectrum of a protein sample through different approaches. One of them, called Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF), combines mass spectrometry (MS) data with searching strategies in a suitable database of known protein to provide a list of candidate proteins ranked by a score. To this aim, several algorithms and software tools have been proposed. However, the scoring methods and mainly the statistical evaluation of the results can be significantly improved.
