Table 1 Empirical and statistical scores along with associated parameters (p 1 and p 2) for each spectrum shown in Figure 1. The data were obtained for mass accuracies of 1.0 Da, 0.1 Da and 0.01 Da. Confidence levels were calculated based on a search space of 2726345 theoretical peptides. The confidence levels for the pp and pp2 scores are denotes as confidence level and confidence level2
