MASH Explorer
MASH Explorer provides processing and analysis of top-down mass spectrometry proteomics data to enable proteoform-level characterization and proteome-wide molecular specificity studies.
Key Features:
- Universal platform: Integrates multiple spectral deconvolution and database search algorithms into a single environment for top-down proteomics.
- Comprehensive data processing: Supports mass spectrometry data in multiple vendor file formats for processing within the same platform.
- Algorithm integration: Combines spectral deconvolution and database search outputs to enable proteoform-level identification and molecular specificity analysis.
Scientific Applications:
- Proteoform characterization: Identification and characterization of intact proteoforms derived from top-down mass spectrometry data.
- Post-translational modification mapping: Detection and analysis of post-translational modifications at the proteoform level.
- Proteome-wide molecular studies: Proteome-scale investigations of protein function and molecular specificity using top-down proteomics data.
Methodology:
Integration of multiple spectral deconvolution and database search algorithms applied to top-down mass spectrometry data in multiple vendor file formats.
