Hi Peter,
No, what happens is that multiple true peptides will map to the same protein, but practically all false peptides will map singly to unique proteins. As a result, the protein FDR will likely be greater than 1%. Typically, if you do not perform some sort of protein level statistics, you would say your protein IDs were inferred from peptides identified at a 1% FDR threshold.
Cheers,
Mike

Dear All:

If there are some confident peptide ids at FDR<=1% at the peptide level,
when inferring proteins by confident peptides and at least one unique peptide, CAN i say that at the protein level, its FDR<=1%?
Many thanks,

-Peter
