Hi David,

My dataset is of N-terminal dimethyl labelled peptides (also natural 
acetylated N-terminal peptides included in the mix..) analysed on an 
LTQ-Orbitrap. I am new searching against a database (Mouse IPI v3.87) 
containing decoys and have now been using the PeptideProphet option ' Only 
use Expect Score as the discriminant - helpful for data with homologous top 
hits, e.g. phospho or glyco (Tandem only) '. Both of these have improved my 
models for +3 and +4 but the model for +2 is still poor.

I've had the same dataset analysed on LTQ-Orbitrap using ETD for >+3 charge 
and modelling in TPP looks great for >+3 charge data but is still poor for 
+2 charge.

I've attached example of X!Tandem parameter file that I'm currently using 
for searches.

Any suggestions on how I can improve modelling for +2 charge would be great.

Thanks,

Claire
