Features used by Percolator
Following is a list of the features used by the crux percolator command to represent each peptide-spectrum match (PSM).
Number | Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | lnrSp |
Float | The natural logarithm of the rank of the match based on the Sp score |
2 | deltLCn |
Float | The difference between this PSM's XCorr and the XCorr of the last-ranked PSM for this spectrum, divided by this PSM's XCorr or 1, whichever is larger. |
3 | deltCn |
Float | The difference between this PSM's XCorr and the XCorr of the next-ranked PSM for this spectrum, divided by this PSM's XCorr or 1, whichever is larger. Note that this definition differs from that of the standard delta Cn reported by SEQUEST®. |
4 | Xcorr / XCorr Score |
Float | The SEQUEST cross-correlation score |
5 | Sp / Sp score |
Float | The preliminary SEQUEST score. |
6 | IonFrac |
Float | The fraction of b and y ions theoretical ions matched to the spectrum |
7 | Mass |
Float | The observed mass [M+H]+ |
8 | PepLen |
Integer | The length of the matched peptide, in residues |
9-11 | Charge[n] |
Boolean | Is this a 1+/2+/3+ charged spectrum? |
12 | enzN |
Boolean | Is the peptide preceded by an enzymatic (tryptic) site? |
13 | enzC |
Boolean | Does the peptide have an enzymatic (tryptic) C-terminus? |
14 | enzInt |
Integer | Number of missed internal enzymatic (tryptic) sites |
15 | lnNumSP |
Float | The natural logarithm of the number of database peptides within the specified precursor range |
16 | dM |
Float | The difference between the calculated and observed mass |
17 | absdM |
Float | The absolute value of the difference between the calculated and observed mass |
