SEQUEST has long been used to identify peptides/proteins from their tandem mass
spectra and protein sequence databases. The algorithm has proven to be hugely
successful for its sensitivity and specificity in identifying peptides/proteins,
the sequences of which are present in the protein sequence databases. In this
work, we report on work that attempts a new use for the algorithm by applying it
to search a complete list of theoretically possible peptides, a de novo-like
sequencing. We used freely available mass spectral data and determined a number
of unique peptides as identified by SEQUEST. Using masses of these peptides and
the mass accuracy of 0.001 Da, we have created a database of all theoretically
possible peptide sequences corresponding to the precursor masses. We used our
recently developed algorithm for determining all amino acid compositions
corresponding to a mass interval, and used a lexicographic ordering to generate
theoretical sequences from the compositions. The newly generated theoretical
database was many-fold more complex than the original protein sequence database.
We used SEQUEST to search and identify the best matches to the spectra from all
theoretically possible peptide sequences. We found that SEQUEST cross-correlation
score ranked the correct peptide match among the top sequence matches. The
results testify to the high specificity of SEQUEST when combined with the high
mass accuracy for intact peptides. Graphical Abstract ?.
