Description

Enable Customize Results (checkbox)

Select the Enable Customize Results checkbox to activate the Customize Results page and assign theoretical digestion and alias naming parameters to the currently open processing method.

Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming

Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming (table)

A custom naming scheme (up to 50 characters) can be entered into the Custom Chain Alias Root column of this table. The alias chain root is applied as a naming scheme for the oligonucleotide components identified in the analysis.

Digested Sequence Length Constraints

Specifies the upper and lower limits of the length of the theoretical digested oligonucleotide sequences.

  • Default: 1 to 60
  • Range: 1 to 1,000

Theoretical Digested Sequence Mass Range

Specifies the upper and lower limits of the masses of the theoretical digested oligonucleotide sequences.

  • Default: 200 to 20,000
  • Range: 200 to 400,000

Number of Allowed Missed Cleavages

Specifies the maximum number of internal cleavage sites within a oligonucleotide that a ribonuclease enzyme can miss during the digestion process.

  • Default: 0
  • Range: 0 to 20

Ribonuclease Defined on Identification

RNase

Read-only. Specifies the RNase assigned to the currently open processing method on the Identification subpage of the Parameters page.

Custom Specificity

Read-only. Specifies any custom specificity (if applicable) of the RNase assigned to the currently open processing method on the Identification subpage of the Parameters page.

Phosphate Location

Read-only. Specifies the phosphate location defined for the currently open processing method on the Identification subpage of the Parameters page.

Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming Results table on the Customize Results page

Column

Description

Alias Name

Displays the name of a theoretical digestion component using the alias root defined in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming table.

For example, if “Chain1” was typed into the Custom Chain Alias Root column of the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming table, the theoretical digestion components listed in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming Results table will appear as “Chain1_x”, where x indicates the theoretical component number.

Selected Oligonucleotide Sequence Chain Name

Indicates the default name (derived from the FASTA file) of the oligonucleotide protein sequence assigned to the currently open processing method.

Sequence

Displays the nucleotide sequence constituting the theoretical digestion component.

Digested Sequence Mass

Displays the mass of the nucleotide sequence constituting the theoretical digestion component.

Start Position/End Position

Indicates the positions of the first and last nucleotides of the theoretical digestion component within the undigested target protein sequence.

Sequence Length

Indicates the number of nucleotides in the theoretical digestion component.

Nonunique Sequence

Indicates the number of times the oligonucleotide sequence appears in the theoretical digestion results

Isomer Group

Indicates the group to which a particular series of isomeric oligonucleotide sequences belongs.

Number of Isomer Sequences

Indicates the number of isomeric oligonucleotide sequences of a particular mass that appear in the theoretical digestion results.

Miscleavage

Indicates the number of miscleavages (if any) involved in producing a theoretical digestion component.

The values in this column are based on the Number of Allowed Missed Cleavage Sites parameter in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming section of the Customize Results page. If the value in this column is 0, no miscleavages occurred to create the theoretical digestion component.

Digest Position

Indicates the relative position of a particular nucleotide at which the theoretical digestion took place; based on the specific activity of the ribonuclease assigned to the theoretical digestion and intrinsically related to the theoretical component number listed in the alias name.

For example, since RNase A cleaves the internal phosphodiester bonds of cytosine (C) and uracil (U) bases, for a theoretical digestion using RNase A, a digest position of 3 indicates that the theoretical digestion component resulted from RNase A acting at the third C/U-containing nucleotide in the target oligonucleotide sequence. For alias root “Chain1”, this theoretical component would have the alias name “Chain1_3”.
