Searching parameters included full tryptic or Asp-N restriction, precursor mass tolerance
(± 20 ppm), and fragment mass tolerance (± 0.05 Da). Serine, threonine, and tyrosine
phosphorylation (+79.9663 Da), methionine oxidation (+15.99492 Da),
asparagine and glutamine deamidation (+0.98402 Da), and protein N-terminal
acetylation (+42.03670 Da) were variable modifications (up to 3 allowed per
peptide); cysteine was assigned a fixed carbamidomethyl modification (+57.021465
Da).
