The following table describes the parameters on the left side of the Identification page.

To activate these parameters for processing full-scan MS data, you must select the Intact Deconvolution checkbox on the Parameters > Component Detection page for at least one peak.

Identification page parameters

Parameter

Description

Sequence Matching Mass Tolerance

Specifies the mass tolerance (in ppm or Da) within which the mass of the full protein sequence and individual components must fall to be considered a match.

Multiconsensus Component Merge

These parameters control the merging of the full-scan MS deconvoluted results for multiple raw data files when you select Multiconsensus as the result format on the Top Down Analysis page.

Deconvolution Mass Tolerance

Specifies the mass tolerance (in ppm or Da) that components from individual raw data files must meet to be merged into a multiconsensus component.

The application excludes individual raw data file components whose masses differ by more than this tolerance from a multiconsensus component.

RT Tolerance

Specifies the maximum difference in retention time (RT) that components from individual files must meet to be merged into a multiconsensus component.

The application excludes individual raw data file components whose retention times are separated by more than this gap from a multiconsensus component.

Minimum Number of Required Occurrences

Specifies the minimum number of individual raw data files that must be included in a multiconsensus component for it to be considered valid.

The application excludes multiconsensus components comprised of fewer than this number of files.
