Hello,

I am having difficulty getting ASAPRatio in TPP 4.7.0 to use the corrrect 
m/z when analyzing chemical isotopic labeled peptides (D0 or D6 Acetone via 
reductive alkylation).

Instead of choosing the +6 partner of the light label it instead chooses 
+48 which is the mass of the heavy label.  In the interact.pep.xml file it 
has correctly identified the labels and their corresponding mass 
differences, but for some reason isn't using the massdiff but rather the 
label mass for the heavy label (which was the variable mod in the search). 
 I've searched this as before when it worked e.g. I set the light label to 
be a static modification.  I then set the difference between the heavy and 
light modification as a variable mod.  The Tandem (or Comet) search results 
correctly identify pairs of peptides with D0 and D6 modified n-term and K 
residues.  In the ASAPRatio part of the form in Petunia, I select n and K 
as the modified residues, and then I specify the monoisotopic masses for 
each of the modified residues that are present in the sample e.g. n, K, M, 
& C.  The ASAPRatio results show a mass difference of (for +1 charge state) 
+96, (for +2 charge state) +48 where the *CID was performed on the light 
peptide* and conversely mass difference of (for +1 charge state) +48 (for 
+2 charge state) +24 where the *CID was performed on the heavy peptide*.  

This had been working correctly in TPP 4.6.1 and .2, but not anymore in 
4.7.0.  Though 4.7.0 doesn't seem to be working with chemical isotopic 
labeling, it does work with SILAC data.


Here is a snip from the interact.pep.xml file showing the modifications it 
is ~using:

Command to start Xinteract:

EXECUTING: cd /usr/local/tpp/data/projects/s-mouse-plasma/medres; 
/usr/local/tpp/bin/xinteract -Ninteract-tandem-statlight-varheavy.pep.xml 
-p0.0 -l7 -Op -dDECOY

140627-s-mouse-serum-7986.tandem.pep.xml

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brian
