False peptide identification caused by use of peaks from the isotopic distribution. (A) Assignment of an MS/MS spectrum with a doubly charged peptide, EALENA^DeamidationNTNTEVLK, by Mascot with a score of 70. (B) Assignment of the same MS/MS spectrum with a doubly charged unmodified peptide, EALENANTNTEVLK, identified by manual inspection.
