Mzion enables deep and precise identification of peptides in data-dependent acquisition proteomics

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Sensitive and reliable identification of proteins and peptides pertains the basis of proteomics. We introduce Mzion, a new database search tool for data-dependent acquisition (DDA) proteomics. Our tool utilizes an intensity tally strategy and achieves generally a higher performance in terms of depth and precision across 20 datasets, ranging from large-scale to single-cell proteomics. Compared to several other search engines, Mzion matches on average 20% more peptide spectra at tryptic enzymatic specificity and 80% more at no enzymatic specificity from six large-scale, global datasets. Mzion also identifies more phosphopeptide spectra that can be explained by fewer proteins, demonstrated by six large-scale, local datasets corresponding to the global data. Our findings highlight the potential of Mzion for improving proteomic analysis and advancing our understanding of protein biology.
