  Abstract: Correct identification of proteins from peptide fragments is important for proteomic analyses. Peptides are initially separated by Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) before Mass Spectrometry (MS) identification. At the present time, peptide fragment retention (separation) time is not used as a useful scoring filter for identification of the peptide fragments and their parent proteins. In the present paper, we present a new web-based tool for the prediction of peptide fragment retention times and its use in compiling a database of ∼133,000 peptide fragments computationally obtained by digestion with trypsin of 4,265 E. coli – K12 proteins. The retention calculation is based on the described formulae and the fragments/protein identification was carried out using a simple search-scoring algorithm.
  Keywords: reversed-phase liquid chromatography; mass spectrometry; high performance liquid chromatography; RP-HPLC; retention time prediction; tryptic digest; mass frequency; bioinformatics; proteomic data mining; peptide fragments; internet; protein identification.
