Hi David, thanks for your answer. It is very weird because I have like 2858 
proteins and 10501 unique peptides. I believe there are enough IDs. It 
might be the PeptideProphet parameters: 
PeptideProphet probability:0.05
Force the fitting of the mixture model (bypass automatic mixture model 
checks)
Use decoy hits to pin down the negative distribution. Decoy protein names 
begin with:  (whitespace not allowed)
I tried with and without the second one, but without it gives this error: 
*Command FAILED*
RETURN CODE:65280

So I needed to include the second parameter. With the DECOY option, not 
sure which option to pick, I tried all of them, but I got negative prob 
with all.
Thank a lot for your help
