TIP

You can access the Theoretical Protein/Peptide Manager by selecting the Sequence Manager link on the BioPharma Finder Home page and then selecting the appropriate tab on the navigation bar.

TIP

For information on how to generate theoretical components using the Theoretical Protein/Peptide tool, see Using the Theoretical Protein/Peptide Manager.

Prerequisites

  1. You are viewing the Theoretical Protein/Peptide Manager.
  2. You have generated theoretical components using the Theoretical Protein/Peptide tool.

Procedure

  1. In the Theoretical Protein/Peptide Manager, select the checkbox in the row of each component in the Results table that you want to save to a workbook.
  2. TIP

    To select all rows in the table, select the checkbox in the column header.

  3. Select Save As Peptide Workbook on the command bar.
  4. Select one of the following submenu commands:
  5. All to export all theoretical components in the table to a workbook.
  6. Checked to export only the selected components to a workbook.
  7. The Save Peptide Workbook As dialog box opens.
  8. In the Save Peptide Workbook As dialog box, select one of the following options:
  9. Create a New Peptide Workbook to add the components to a new workbook.
  10. Select an Existing Workbook to add the components to an existing workbook.
  11. (For the Create a New Peptide Workbook option) In the Workbook Name box, type a name for the workbook.
  12. TIP

    Workbook names can contain alphanumeric, space, underscore (“_”), and period (“.”) characters.

  13. IMPORTANT

    You can overwrite an existing workbook by entering the same workbook name.

  14. (For the Select an Existing Workbook option) In the table, select the checkbox for an existing workbook you want to update.
  15. (Optional) In the Description box, type a description for the workbook.
  16. In the Number of Isotopes per Peptide box, specify the number of isotopes you want to include for the selected components.
  17. Select Save.
  18. The application saves the selected components to a new or existing target peptide workbook, as indicated.
