The Proteome Discoverer application is a client-server application that uses workflows to process and report mass spectrometry data. It compares the raw data obtained via mass spectrometry to the information from a selected FASTA database and identifies peptides from tandem mass spectra. You can use this application to analyze mass spectral data from all Thermo Scientific mass spectrometers and other mass spectrometers. Specifically, the application does the following:
- Works with peptide identification search engines, such as Sequest™ HT and Mascot, to process all data types collected from low- and high-mass-accuracy mass spectrometry (MS) instruments.
- Produces complementary data from a variety of dissociation methods and data-dependent stages of tandem mass spectrometry.
- Combines, filters, and annotates results from several database search engines and from multiple analysis iterations.
