Hi Mike, thank you I did the way you said. Analyzed all samples separately. I have a question I kept on doing as from mzml convert --- comet search -- peptide prophet---- iprophet ---- protein prophet---- stpeter. I didn't check the data quality neither filtered my data for anything during the process. Can I do filtering in the end, based on protein probability as decided by the sensitivity and error table? I did filtering at the end choosing error rate of 0.05. I had 6 files of similar samples. I see that based on stpeter score the top hits (around 30 proteins) are similar across 6 samples. But the total number of proteins identified in each sample goes down drastically in few of the samples although all the files had similar number of displayed spectra upto iprophet. CAn you please explain th reason? thanks sud
