Figure 6. Characterization of PSMs “rescued” by high-resolution correlation analysis. (a) Top-ranked PSMs and scores for a given MS/MS<br />

search result using 1.0 and 0.025 m/z-wide bins. Note that these sequences are identical, except for a K/Q substitution in the middle of the<br />

peptide, marked by a red box. While the 1.0 m/z-wide bin search rank 1 PSM satisfies a precursor ion tolerance and Xcorr cutoff, the dCn<br />

(0.005) precludes unambiguous TP assignment. The top-ranked PSMs and scores from the 0.025 m/z-wide bin search are shown below. The<br />

resolving power of much narrower fragment ion bins clearly allows for discrimination of the K-containing ion fragments, resulting in a dCn of<br />

0.36 and an unambiguous TP PSM assignment. (b) Graphical representation of the distribution of candidate PSMs by Xcorr for the 1.0 (blue)<br />

and 0.025 (red) m/z-wide bin searches of the PSM from part a. (c) Histogram depicting the relative ranks of rescued PSMs in the lower resolution<br />

search. The lowest ranked PSM was rescued from the 4 715th position. (d) Reciprocal MS/MS plots, sequence, and matched fragment ions for<br />

the PSM rescued from the 4 715th rank position. The upper MS/MS spectrum is from the endogenous peptide from the HeLa cell lysate, and<br />

the lower MS/MS spectrum is from the synthetic peptide “AASVHTVGEDTEETPHR”.<br />
