dear all,
I've performed a shotgun experiment (DDA) on a nanoACQUITY UPLC MS system (waters) and processed raw data with PLGS software (waters). We found some proteins differentially expressed in two conditions and now a validation of these is required. I was thinking of building a library (fasta from uniprot) only with these proteins and use this as my database. Then I think to compare the retention times of the peptides found. is that correct? do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Viviana

Hi Viviana,
Have you reviewed the MS1 Full-Scan Filtering tutorial?

https://skyline.gs.washington.edu/labkey/wiki/home/software/Skyline/page.view?name=tutorial_ms1_filtering

and the DDA webinar the Skyline Team produced recently?

https://skyline.gs.washington.edu/labkey/project/home/software/Skyline/events/2014%20Webinars/Webinar%202/begin.view?

If you do things right, Skyline should automatically pick peaks based on the retention times of the identified MS/MS scans in your DDA data, and make it very easy for you to compare visually with that information.

You can build your library from the final_fragment.csv file from a PLGS search.

Good luck. Thanks for using Skyline to verify you preliminary findings from DDA data.
