Evaluation of the False Discovery Rate in Library-Free Search by DIA-NN Using In Vitro Human Proteome Recently, deep-learning-based in silico spectral libraries have gained increasing attention. Several data-independent acquisition (DIA) software tools have integrated this feature, known as a library-free search, thereby making DIA analysis more accessible. However, controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) is challenging owing to the vast amount of peptide information in in silico libraries. In this study, we introduced a stringent method to evaluate FDR control using DIA software. Recombinant proteins were synthesized from full-length human cDNA libraries and analyzed by using liquid chromatographyโ€“mass spectrometry and DIA software. The results were compared with known protein sequences to calculate the FDR. Notably, we compared the identification performance of DIA-NN versions 1.8.1, 1.9.2, and 2.1.0. Versions 1.9.2 and 2.10 identified more peptides than version 1.8.1, and versions 1.9.2 and 2.1.0 used a more conservative identification approach, thus significantly improving the FDR control. Across the synthesized recombinant protein mixtures, the average FDR at the precursor level was 0.538% for version 1.8.1, 0.389% for version 1.9.2, and 0.385% for version 2.1.0; at the protein level, the FDRs were 2.85%, 1.81%, and 1.81%, respectively. Collectively, our data set provides valuable insights for comparing FDR controls across DIA software and aiding bioinformaticians in enhancing their tools.

Assessing FDR in proteomics using full proteome recombinant libraries: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10..... A very elegant work and a benchmarking dataset useful for many other things too. Protein FDR higher than precursor FDR likely due to paralogues - and this needs to be researched further.

Establishing a Top-Down Proteomics Platform on a Time-of-Flight Instrument with Electron-Activated Dissociation Top-down proteomics is the study of intact proteins and their post-translational modifications with mass spectrometry. Historically, this field is more challenging than its bottom-up counterpart because the species are much bigger and have a larger number of possible combinations of sequences and modifications; thus, there is a great need for technological development. With improvements in instrumentation and a multiplicity of fragmentation modes available, top-down proteomics is quickly gaining in popularity with renewed attention on increasing confidence in identification and quantification. Here, we systematically evaluated the Sciex ZenoTOF 7600 system for top-down proteomics, applying standards in the field to validate the platform and further experimenting with its capabilities in electron-activated dissociation and post-translational modification site localization. The instrument demonstrated robustness in standard proteins for platform QC, as aided by zeno trapping. We were also able to apply this to histone post-translational modifications, achieving high sequence coverage that allowed PTMโ€™s site localization across protein sequences with optimized EAD fragmentation. We demonstrated the ability to analyze proteins spanning the mass range and included analysis of glycosylated proteins. This is a reference point for future top-down proteomics experiments to be conducted on the ZenoTOF 7600 system.

New manuscript from the lab to establish a Top Down MS platform using electron activated dissociation on the Sciex ZenoTOF 7600 is out at the Journal of Proteome Research!
