Abstract
A thorough understanding of the fragmentation processes in MS/MS can be a powerful tool in assessing the resulting peptide and protein identifications. We here present the freely available, open‐source FragmentationAnalyzer tool (http://fragmentation‐analyzer.googlecode.com) that makes it straightforward to analyze large MS/MS data sets for specific types of identified peptides, using a common set of peptide properties. This enables the detection of fragmentation pattern nuances related to specific instruments or due to the presence of post‐translational modifications.Keywords
