Jun. 14, 2011: [Materials Provided] Results presented at the 59th ASMS Conference (June 6 to 9).

 Three presentations of results from the first year of the Koichi Tanaka Laboratory of Advanced Science and Technology were made at the 59th ASMS Conference on June 6 to 9, 2011 in Denver. Two presentations were also related to the Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory.

 The majority of the results achieved in the first year of the project are planned for presentation at the 59th Annual Conference on Mass Spectrometry in Osaka from September 13 to 15, 2011.

Peptide search algorithm by selecting and rescoring reliable peaks for MSn(n>1) spectra
→ Normally, only MS/MS data is referenced to obtain peptide sequence information. However, this presentation illustrates that the identification rate can be enhanced by combining MS3 and higher information and introduces the associated algorithms.
