Dear all,

I have a question pertaining to ASAPRatio.

Can I actually get ASAPRatio to give me a ratio of Kmethylated / Kheavy
+methylated (i.e. K142/K148)? If it can be done, how do I specify on
the commandline different modified forms of Lys as the numerator and
denominator of the ratio? Both modifications have been specified under
variable mods in Xtandem. Does Xpress need to be specified everytime
ASAPRatio is run, or can it be omitted? Can the following work?

xinteract  -NinteractHeavyMethyl2.pep.xml -p0 -l6 -OA -A-
lR170.11676K142.11061-F-r0.1-mK148.13061R180.12476
"*HeavyMethyl.tandem.pep.xml"

I also tried specifying static mod on Lys (i.e. 1...@k), and variable
mod of 2...@k to represent the Heavy+Methyl form in Xtandem first,
then :

xinteract  -Ninteractstatic.pep.xml -p0 -l6 -OA -X-nR,10K,6 -A-lRK-F-
r0.1-mK148.13061R180.12476 "*static.tandem.pep.xml"

But in this case, PeptideProphet's probabilities were all 0,
presumably because there were very few significant peptide assignments
due to the static mod specified on all Lys. Does anybody have any idea
how I can get around this problem with ASAPRatio?

I look forward to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.


Cheers,
Bernard
