(a) Comparison of all
assignments proposed by MFP in a collated
peak list of all manually assigned protein peaks in 16 different protein
samples (black) and only correct protein assignments (red). (b) All
protein peaks assigned in 16 protein samples are widely spread around
the trend line of DBE/Cn (grey). The variability
of DBE/Cn of protein assignments is caused
by different amino acid DBE/Cn (orange—asparagine,
R; yellow—leucine, L; red—histidine, H, green—asparagine,
N; brown—phenylalanine, F). (c) Human serum sample is too complex
to manually assign fragments of biological molecules. (d) MFP combined
with the LIPID MAPS database automatically assigns lipid groups (black).
Additional MFP on the rest of the spectrum enables assignment of proteins
in serum (red). Peaks assigned as fragments of fibronectin (C15H22N4O3Na+, m/z 329.1585), transferrin (C24H44N6O5Na+, m/z 519.3258), and human serum albumin (C24H40N8O7Na+, m/z 575.2918). Chemical filtering was carried out
on SIMS-MFP software.
