Hi TPP community!

I have an interesting puzzle that I can not figure out!!! I'm running a 
2D-LC-MS/MS experiment of a yeast lysate (peptides labeled by 
dimethylation) on a QqLIT (QTrap 3000) instrument acquiring on IDA mode.
I'm analyzing the data on the TPP using X!Tandem search engine with the 
params file attached, and interestingly, ALL the peptides identified on the 
pep.shtml file are derived from triply charged precursors!!! (ALL of them). 
When I check the prot.shtml file all the identified peptides have the 
3_SEQUENCE nomenclature (my understanding is that the 3 identifies the 
charge on the precursor, right?). When I look at the raw data (.wiff) file 
on Analyst software, I can easily estimate that most (probably a little 
more than half) of the MS/MS was actually performed on CLEARLY doubly 
charged precursors, according the the ER-MS (enhanced resolution MS 
acquired on the LIT)... so it seem very weird that I dont find a single 
peptide to spectrum match (PSM) from a doubly charged precursor. Just 
wondering if I might have accidentally changed a parameter on the params 
file (.xml).

Has anybody crossed upon this observation before??? Anybody can help me???

Thanks!!!

Alex
