Mascot Search Tools
As mentioned above, although mass spectrometry is a very popular tool for protein identification, it would not be possible to use it without the tools publicly available on the Internet (Mascot, Profound etc.). mMass provides the interface that allows data to be directly sent to the three main tools available on the Mascot website:
- Peptide Mass Fingerprint [Tools → Mascot PMF Search…]
- Sequence Query [Tools → Mascot Sequence Query…]
- MS/MS Ion Search [Tools → Mascot MS/MS Ion Search…]
After filling up the form data are sent to Mascot server and results shown in a web browser. See Mascot website for more information about the dialog items.
