# This file is used to specify modifications # Use # for comments, either at the start of a line or in the middle of line # # Max Number of Dynamic (Variable) Modifications per peptide # If this value is large, the search will be slow NumMods=3 # To input a modification, use the following command: # Mass or CompositionStr, Residues, ModType, Position, Name (all the five fields are required). # CompositionStr (C[Num]H[Num]N[Num]O[Num]S[Num]P[Num]Br[Num]Cl[Num]Fe[Num]) # - C (Carbon), H (Hydrogen), N (Nitrogen), O (Oxygen), S (Sulfur), P (Phosphorus), Br (Bromine), Cl (Chlorine), Fe (Iron), and Se (Selenium) are allowed. # - Negative numbers are allowed. # - E.g. C2H2O1 (valid), H2C1O1 (invalid) # Mass can be used instead of CompositionStr. It is important to specify accurate monoisotopic masses (integer masses are insufficient). # - E.g. 15.994915 # Residues: affected amino acids (must be upper letters) # - Must be upper letters or * # - Use * if this modification is applicable to any residue. # - * should not be "anywhere" modification (e.g. "15.994915, *, opt, any, Oxidation" is not allowed.) # - E.g. NQ, * # ModType: "fix" for fixed modifications, "opt" for variable modifications, "custom" for custom amino acids (case insensitive) # Position: position in the peptide where the modification can be attached. # - One of the following five values should be used: # - any (anywhere), N-term (peptide N-term), C-term (peptide C-term), Prot-N-term (protein N-term), Prot-C-term (protein C-term) # - Case insensitive # - "-" can be omitted # - E.g. any, Any, Prot-n-Term, ProtNTerm are all valid # Name: name of the modification (Unimod PSI-MS name) # - For proper mzIdentML output, this name should be the same as the Unimod PSI-MS name # - E.g. Phospho, Acetyl # - Visit http://www.unimod.org to get PSI-MS names. # Static (fixed) modifications: C2H3N1O1,C,fix,any,Carbamidomethyl # Fixed Carbamidomethyl C # Variable Modifications (default: none) O1,M,opt,any,Oxidation # Oxidation M # Additional Modification Examples # C2H3N1O1, C, fix, any, Carbamidomethyl # Fixed Carbamidomethyl C (alkylation) # O1, M, opt, any, Oxidation # Oxidation M # 15.994915, M, opt, any, Oxidation # Oxidation M (mass is used instead of CompositionStr) # H-1N-1O1, NQ, opt, any, Deamidated # Negative numbers are allowed. # CH2, K, opt, any, Methyl # Methylation K # C2H2O1, K, opt, any, Acetyl # Acetylation K # HO3P, STY,opt, any, Phospho # Phosphorylation STY # C2H3NO, *, opt, N-term, Carbamidomethyl # Variable Carbamidomethyl N-term # H-2O-1, E, opt, N-term, Glu->pyro-Glu # Pyro-glu from E # H-3N-1, Q, opt, N-term, Gln->pyro-Glu # Pyro-glu from Q # C2H2O, *, opt, Prot-N-term, Acetyl # Acetylation Protein N-term # Custom amino acids (default: none) # Formula, letter symbol, custom, unused, name # Formula: # - Only supports empirical formulas of elements C H N O S. # - If other elements are needed, or a specific mass is needed, they can be added as fixed modifications to the custom amino acid on following lines. # - Warning: maximum 255 C, 255 H, 63 N, 63 O, 15 S # Letter symbol: # - Can be B, J, O, U, X, Z # custom: # - Special ModType "custom" to denote custom amino acids # unused: # - Field is currently not used internally, but the parser requires a value here # name: # - Name of custom amino acid # - Not used internally or output to results, but the parser requires a value here # # NOTE: All modifications that affect the custom amino acid(s) must be specified below the custom amino acid(s). # # Example 1: #C5H7N1O2S0,J,custom,P,Hydroxylation # Hydroxyproline # # Example 2: #C3H5NO, U, custom, U, Selenocysteine # Custom amino acids can only have C, H, N, O, and S #79.9166, U, fix, any, Se80 # Use a static mod to add Se
