The number reported in the Spectral Library Explorer as "peptides" (9672) should actually be "precursors" because it counts multiple charge states of the same peptide sequence (and also multiple isotope labeled states), whereas these will be counted as a single (modified) peptides sequence in Skyline's peptide counts (in the status bar and in the final message box you show). Thanks for the feedback and explanation of what you would ideally like to see from Skyline. For #1 to work, you may need to increase what you allow in Skyline for missed cleavages, but presumably in the end you are just looking to match peptides with the spectra that Mascot matched, and that should still work, just with some missed cleavages reported where they can't actually have occurred. To me, #2 seems like it would have the last impact on how you interpret the results, but it also means you are limited to a certain way of adding your peptides, and you will need to build a background proteome if you want protein association with your peptides.
What we have now solved other multi-enzymatic cleavage requests, primarily the ability to have both C- and N-terminal cleavage in the same definition. Amazingly, yours is the first request to mention it. Interesting enzyme combination LysC and Tripsin. But you can add just about anything your mass spectrometer can measure (and for which Skyline understands the modifications) through View > Spectral Libraries - Add or Add All. If, however, you use View > Spectral Libraries - Add or Add All (with our without Associate Proteins) then you mostly bypass the enzyme cleavage except in how Skyline estimates the number of missed cleavages and what Skyline tells you about the added peptides not matching your filter settings. File > Import > FASTA, Edit > Insert > FASTA, Edit Insert > Proteins, or any of the direct Edit > Paste equivalents. They do have a meaning if you use a mechanism that imports protein sequences into the document, e.g. The library builder trusts the search results completely.“ ( ) Do digestion settings (enzyme, max missed cleavages and background proteome) have any meaning for our analyses (especially SWATH)? We have always checked Pick peptides matching: Library and Filter (Peptides Settings -> Library).
It is all about how you set up your search engine. The enzyme settings in Skyline are completely irrelevant to this. I read one of your old answer: “Skyline would generate a spectral library from whatever your search tools output as the peptides it detected for your spectra. We use Mascot as a search engine (LysC+Trypsin digestion, 1 allowed missed cleavage, several modifications…) to create assay (spectral) libraries for SRM and SWATH analyses. Is it possible to set this combination in Skyline -> cleave C-terminal to K (always) and cleave C-terminal to R unless followed by P? We typically use enzyme combination of LysC and Trypsin in our sample preparation workflow.
ENZYMEX MULTI HOW TO
I would like to ask you how to set multiple enzyme option in Peptide settings (Digestion).
