TagDict: Prediction of Theoretical Spectra of Peptides Based on A Tag Dictionary

摘要

Background: Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) peptide identification is an important research topic in molecular biology; the comparison between an experimental spectrum and a theoretically predicted spectrum is a crucial step for many identification methods. Consequently, the accurate prediction of the theoretical spectrum from a peptide sequence can potentially improve the performance of peptide identification and is a significant problem for mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
