NTP/IS = The ratio between the intensities of the N terminal cleavage product and the internal standard peptide in the same spectrum.

CTP/IS = The ratio between the intensities of the C terminal cleavage product and the internal standard peptide in the same spectrum.

RSDr= the relative standard deviation in percent calculated from 6 replicates, each spotted and analyzed 3 times.

RSDR= the relative standard deviation in percent calculated from 6 replicates, each spotted and analyzed 3 times on 3 different days.

x blank = the mean NTP/IS (or CTP/IS) in a sample (6 replicates, 3 spots each) divided by the mean of the same ratio of the blank samples (6 replicates, 3 spots each).
