The tool will accept multiple sequences in the paste box provided they are in FASTA format.

Note that if you have several in-house sequences or you suspect that your protein might have an alternative sequence you should include all those in the database. Rename the database in your history from Pasted Sequences to TDP43DB.fasta.Run the tool and a new entry should appear in your history with the TDP43 sequence as well as a selection of contaminant sequences to act as a control.Select the option to modify identifiers for compatibility with SearchGUI/PeptideShaker.Check the box the append known cRAP sequences.

Important Note: In order to perform the later steps in this tutorial you will need to download peptide shaker.

This tutorial covers all the tools required in this situation. It is often the case in such experiments that the protein of interest has an amino-acid sequence that is not yet published, so searching standard databases such as Uniprot is not an option. You would like to cut out the band of interest and use Tandem Mass Spec to confirm that its amino acid sequence corresponds to what you expect. In order to illustrate the use of this tool, imagine a scenario where you have run a gel and suspect that a particular band corresponds to a specific protein of interest. These tools essentially automate the many steps illustrated in the Multiple Search Engine Tutorial. This tutorial introduces two very useful tools SearchGUI and PeptideShaker that allow a comprehensive multi engine search and downstream statistical analyses to be performed in just two steps. Use PeptideShaker and SearchGUI to search a custom protein database
