Abstract

We describe a probabilistic peptide fragmentation model for use in protein databank searching and de novo sequencing of electrospray tandem mass spectrometry data. A probabilistic framework for tuning of the model using a range of well-characterized samples are introduced. We present preliminary results of our tuning efforts.
