Abstract:
Modern glycoproteomics experiments require the use of search engines due to the generation of countless spectra. While these tools are valuable, manual validation of search engine results is often required for detailed analysis of glycopeptides as false-discovery rates are often not reliable for glycopeptide data. Near-isobaric mismatches are a common source of misidentifications for the popular glycopeptide-focused search engine pGlyco3.0, and in this technical note we share a strategy and script that improves the accuracy of the search utilizing two manually validated datasets of the glycoproteins CD16a and HIV-1 Env as proof-of-principle.
