The table below describes the types of modifications you can add to your sequence in the Protein Sequence Editor, depending on its category.
Order of application | Modification | Description | Workflow (Sequence category) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Create intra- and inter-chain links between cysteine (C) residues in a protein. You can assign disulfide links to sequences with the "Intact Protein" category only. The feature is disabled for all other categories. |
| |
2 | Define side-chain or terminal modifications at a single site or all sites for a specified residue or terminal. |
| |
3 | Specify attachment of sugar moieties at sites in the protein to form N- and O-linked glycans. |
| |
4 | Define possible side-chain or terminal modifications whose specific sites and number of occurrences might not be known. |
| |
N/A | Select a sublist of variable modifications to generate a list of proteoforms for searching to identify fragment ions. You can generate proteoforms for sequences with the "Top Down" category only. This feature is disabled for all other categories. |

TIP
Upon installation, the BioPharma Finder application includes a default list of variable modifications. You can use the Define Modification List feature to customize the list visible in the Protein Sequence Editor and define a custom sublist for quick loading.
