Shared processes of the three workflows. Spectra are sorted by their precursor masses and the candidate peptides are obtained from a protein sequence database. Then all of the spectra within the specified mass tolerance window are found for the candidate peptide, and each peptide-spectrum match is scored. Evaluation and protein inference occur at the end of the matching and scoring stage.
