Hi,
I have been searching yeast N15 datasets. Sequest search went all fine
(after defining the individual aa modifications) and so did the
peptide prophet.
But when I try to compile a spectra library with spectrast, Spectrast
has problems to handle the modifications:

1) First test

> command: spectrast -cNDP-N15-IDA -cP0.9 interact-CommandLine.pep.xml

> output:

Second try: specifying a spectrast.usermods file

My spectrast.usermods was as follows:
G|+0.99703497|
A|+0.99703497|
S|+0.99703497|
P|+0.99703497|

E|+0.99703497|
M|+0.99703497|
F|+0.99703497|
T|+0.99703497|
N|+1.99406994|
Q|+1.99406994|
K|+1.99406994|
W|+1.99406994|
H|+2.99110491|
R|+3.98813988|


I even tried one like this:
G[58]|+0.99703497|
A[72]|+0.99703497|...


But without any success.

Am I doing something wrong?
How to specify the modifications such that spectrast proceeds?

Thanks in advance for your help

Ludovic
