Dear all,

I am encountering issues when trying to use PTMProphet on X!Tandem result 
files to validate phosphorylation sites. 

Firstly, when converting the X!Tandem result files to pepXML using 
Tandem2XML, I get the error that the referred MGF file is not recognized 
*"Unknown file type. No file loaded.".*I checked that all the paths were 
correct. To overcome this issue I had to convert the original raw files in 
mzML for Tandem2XML to work, is it normal that MGF files are not supported ?

Secondly, I get "*WARNING: Illegal PTM-shuffled peptide detected with 
non-matching mass*" warnings when running PTMProphet on the pepXML file. 
What I don't understand is that the difference in ppm that are given by the 
warnings are quite extreme (80000-150000 ppm). And even if I increase the 
MS1 tolerance enough using the PPMTOL parameter, no information is inserted 
in the "modification_info" tags in the produced XML file. Am I missing 
something obvious ?

PS: I use command lines and the latest version of the TPP on linux mint (64 
bits).

Many thanks in advance,

Thibault
