SYMPTOMS
- After processing DDA data, there are no results
- Processing of MSe data works fine
- If the search step (workflow) uses the Mascot search engine, the Mascot server returns error code M00390: "Too many peptide masses in your data file or queries without any ions. Mascot has a limit of 1000 for PMF search. Probably wrong type of search or wrong input format."
ENVIRONMENT
- PLGS 3.0.3
- PLGS 3.0.2
- PLGS 3.0.1
- PLGS 3.0
- PLGS search engine
- Mascot search engine
CAUSE
The wrong workflow search type was selected. You must use Fragment Ion Search.
The Mascot error described in the symptoms section results from using the Peptide Mass Fingerprint option in PLGS Workflow > database search.
FIX or WORKAROUND
Select Fragment Ion Search (FIS) as the workflow search type for DDA experiments:
