  1. A filter for outlier removal has been applied to the automatically calculated ratios in MASPECTRAS. For the manual evaluation, these automatically removed peptides were checked manually and the misquantification due to wrong peak detection could be corrected. Therefore the amount of manually accepted peptides could be higher than the automatically accepted ones. The quantification with ASAPRatio integrated in MASPECTRAS performed superior compared to both, MSQuant and PepQuan. Furthermore, for all ratios the relative error calculated was considerably lower than the relative error obtained with MSQuant and PepQuan.
