Dear all


I am plotting the distribution of the assigned PeptideProphet and iProphet 
probabilities to my search results. I am seeing a rather strange pattern 
shown below. Why am I seeing so many hits with very high confidence 
(probability >0.98) but suddenly after that threshold the number of 
assigned probabilities to the PSMs decrease abruptly? What could be the 
reason for this pattern? One would expect to see all ranges of 
probabilities for PSMs.

This figure is the combination of different search engines:
- Comet (min PepPro=0.5)
- X! Tandem GPM (min PepPro=0.05)
- X! Tandem TPP (min PepPro=0.05)

The horizontal axis is between 0.5 and 1.

and I can see the same pattern for the PeptideProphet distribution of each 
one of these search engine results including SpectraST (Except for X! 
Tandem GPM).

Thank you very much,

Ali
