Lately I've been encountering a problem with peptide prophet were it seems to fail and discard some peptides due to a mixture model quality problem. Since i am merely a software developer / administrator and NOT the person actually running the mass specs, I can't really comment on what's going on with the experimenters.
Can anyone tell me what the mixture model represents and how to improve its quality experimentally? Or maybe is there a way to bypass the mixture model test in Peptide Prophet? I tried the -OF option and it still fails. We are using LTQ -> Sequest / Mascot -> TPP. Here is the output, you can see that a lot is getting thrown out: /opt/tpp/`uname -p`/bin/xinteract -Ninteract.xml -Ol -dREV *.xml uname -p /opt/tpp/x86_64/bin/xinteract (TPP v4.2 JETSTREAM rev 0, Build 200903231240 (linux)) running: "/opt/tpp/x86_64/bin/InteractParser 'interact.xml' 'cox-2- h_G_C-1_090307035947.pep.xml' 'cox-2-h_S_C-1_090307023841.pep.xml' 'cox-2M_H_G_C.pep.xml' 'cox-2M_H_S_C.pep.xml' -L'7'" file 1: cox-2-h_G_C-1_090307035947.pep.xml file 2: cox-2-h_S_C-1_090307023841.pep.xml file 3: cox-2M_H_G_C.pep.xml file 4: cox-2M_H_S_C.pep.xml processed altogether 4105 results results written to file /data/www/htdocs/qInteract/data2/ xuanwen_20090305121123/xuanwen_3626/interact.shtml command completed in 1 sec running: "/opt/tpp/x86_64/bin/PeptideProphetParser 'interact.xml' LEAVE DECOY=REV" Using Decoy Label "REV".
