The new Ribopeaks (RPK-II): Updated and enlarged tool for bacterial classification based on r-protein m/z data

J Proteomics. 2023 Sep 27:105008. doi: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.105008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRibopeaks is a rapid, sensitive, and economic web tool for bacterial identification based on m/z data from MALDI-TOF MS. To provide greater accuracy and robustness in the Ribopeaks analyzes we present an updated bacterial identification tool version, called Ribopeaks II (RPK-II). RPK-II contains a larger database, with r-protein data from fully sequenced bacterial genomes and optimized algorithms. Furthermore, this new version provides additional information about the identified bacterium, regarding antibiotic resistance.PMID:37775078 | DOI:10.1016/j.jprot.2023.105008
