Dear TPP team I would like to point out that one of the most important aspects of iTRAQ/TMT quantification is proper normalization. Many studies have demonstrated the crucial importance of global spectrum level normalization i.e. normalization of the whole data by the respective total intensity of each channel (Huang et al., 2020, Mol Cell Proteomics 19(10), 1706–1723). Unfortunately, this very simple normalization is missing in LIBRA.
I would request the TPP team to please incorporate this feature in the LIBRA tool, so that intensity of each channel can be normalized with respect to the total intensity of each channel. For example, if total intensity of channel A is 100000 and channel B is 120000, then each reading in channel B should be multiplied by 100000/120000. Please incorporate this feature into the tool. It will dramatically increase the accuracy of quantification when we compare it to validation methods. Multiple studies have already pointed this out.
