Figure Lengend Snippet: The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the MATLAB implementation of CAMV. The left tree contains a searchable list of protein hits in order of decreasing MASCOT score, each peptide assignment made to that protein, and all possible combinations of PTMs for each scan. The middle panel contains the MS2 scan data with pre-labeled peaks. On the right is a survey of the precursor window of the MS1 scan and a view of any quantitation information associated with the assignment. The peptide ladder at the top summarizes the sequencing information: red for an identified fragment, black for missing. A peak color-coding scheme allows for rapid surveillance of the quality of the match: within tolerance (green), within 1.5x tolerance (magenta), unmatched peak (red), and isotopic peak (yellow). Peptides which are pre-emptively excluded by the software appear in red on the left-hand tree. For these peptides, the reason for preemptive exclusion is displayed at the top left of the MS2 panel in place of the sequence ladder, along with an option to proceed with processing.
