NOTE
The application stores all .msf and .pdResult files generated for any analyses used for these studies in this folder. Use a local hard drive with 1 GB of free space. Also, due to the amount of reading and writing to the study folder, use an SSD drive if available or a standard drive if not. Do not use a USB drive.
- Select the Processing workflow:
- ProcessingWF_LTQ_Orbitrap\PWF_OT_Precursor_Quan_and_LFQ_CID_SequestHT_Percolator.pdProcessingWF
- Select the Consensus workflow:
- ConsensusWF \ CWF_Comprehensive_Enhanced Annotation_LFQ_and_Precursor_Quan.pdConsensusWF
- Select OK.
- The Study Definition tab opens.
- To add a quantification method, do the following:
- Select the Study Definition tab.
- In the Quantification Methods pane, select the Add dropdown list, and then select SILAC 3plex (Arg6, Lys4 | Arg10, Lys8).
- The quantification method appears in the Quantification Methods pane.
- To add a data file to the study and associate the quantification method, do the following:
- Select the Input Files tab, and select Add Files.
- In Add Files, select the Chris_Ecoli_1_2_4.raw file, and then select Open.
- The file appears in the list of Input Files.
- In the Quan Method dropdown list, select SILAC 3plex.
