# Search parameters. # Enzyme ## Only 'Trypsin' is supported currently. enzyme = Trypsin # MS2 Spectrometer ## fragmentation can be CID or HCD ## massAnalyzer can be Trap, TOF, or FT ## Orbitrap instrument corresponds to CID-Trap, CID-FT, or HCD-FT ## QTof instrument corresponds to CID-TOF. fragmentation = CID massAnalyzer = Trap # Mass error tolerance ## precursorErrorTol can use both the formats of 0.1Da and 15ppm ## fragmentIonErrorTol only supports the format 0.1Da in current version fragmentIonErrorTol = 0.5Da precursorErrorTol = 15ppm # PTM ## Variable modifications will make algorithm consider both modified and the original residue ## Fixed modifications will turn off the unmodified residue from consideration ## A comma-delimited list of IDs can be used here. ## See http://rapidnovor.com/wiki/Built-in_PTMs for a list of built-in PTMs and their IDs variableModifications = Oxidation (M) fixedModifications = Carbamidomethyl (C) # Forbidden residues ## It is suggested to disable residue I because it is the same as L ## The 21st amino acid U should be disabled too because it is so rare that adding ## it to de novo sequencing will cause many more false positives than true positives. forbiddenResidues = I,U # Customized algorithm parameters ## The novorFile parameter is for the most advanced users only. ## Novor uses advanced machine learning algorithms to learn patterns from existing data, ## and utilizes those patterns in its de novo sequencing. These patterns are described by ## thousands of parameters and stored in a .novor file. ## By default, one of the built-in .novor files will be chosen by the algorithm ## according to fragmentation and massAnalyzer. This should be sufficient for most users. ## However, because of the inevitable deviation in the data caused by the instruments and ## labs procedures, more advanced users may want to contact rapidnovor.com to train a ## customized .novor file for their specific instrument and lab procedure. This usually will ## further improve Novor's accuracy on data produced specifically in their labs. # novorFile = external.novor
