Figure 6. The average number of PSMs per peptide is higher for matches against the target database than against the decoy database.

Figure 6

We scored 35,108 spectra derived from a yeast lysate against a target and a decoy database. We then compared the number of PSMs per peptide for peptides having two or more PSMs per peptide. 30,669 target peptides and 33,252 decoy peptides had one PSM each.
