Hey Guys,

I would like to use X!tandem to search phosphopeptide, but I have no idea 
how to set other parameters except "residue, potential modification mass".
In other words, I do not know which values is suitable, and I do not find 
the item about FDR.
Is default "output, maximum valid expectation value" a little big? 
Do you have a set of mature parameters about searching database with 
modifications such as phosphorylation?

My main parameters is here, the others follow the default setting. Please 
help me to check or modify it.
