Sweet google O’ mine—The importance of online search engines for MS-facilitated, database-independent identification of peptide-encoded book prefaces: A EUPA YPIC challenge entry
Publication date: Available online 6 October 2019Source: EuPA Open ProteomicsAuthor(s): Alexander Hogrebe, Rosa R. Jersie-ChristensenAbstractIn the recent year, we felt like we were not truly showing our full potential in our PhD projects, and so we were very happy and excited when YPIC announced the ultimate proteomics challenge. This gave us the opportunity of showing off and procrastinating at the same time:) The challenge was to identify the amino acid sequence of 19 synthetic peptides made up from an English text and then find the book that it came from. For this task we chose to run on an Orbitrap Fusion™ Lumos™ ...

Team COUNCIL OF RICKS submission for EUPA YPIC 2017
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2019Source: EuPA Open ProteomicsAuthor(s): Lindsay K. Pino, Brian C Searle, Han-Yin YangABSTRACTUsing primarily LC-MS/MS de novo sequencing techniques, we concluded that the peptides form the following sentence from Sir JJ Thomson’s (1914) preface to Rays of Positive Electricity and Their Application to Chemical Analyses:“I feel sure that there are many problems in chemistry which could be solved with far greater ease by this than by any other method. The method is surprisingly sensitive, more so even than that of spectrum analysis, requires an infinitesimal amount of mater...

Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery—That all started with de novo!
Publication date: Available online 17 August 2019Source: EuPA Open ProteomicsAuthor(s): Ekaterina Ilgisonis, Olga Kiseleva, Ksenia KuznetsovaAbstractThis work on solving the mystery of words encoded by amino acids in peptides was derived by the YPIC-EuPA Challenge. We received a dry synthetic peptide sample and performed a mass spectrometric analysis followed by de novo peptide sequencing. As a result, a part of “Rays of positive electricity and their application to chemical analyses” by J.J.Tomson was found to be encoded in the peptides of the sample. The words were first revealed from the peptides, that matched by Go...

Let me infuse this for you – a way to solve the first YPIC challenge
Publication date: Available online 16 August 2019Source: EuPA Open ProteomicsAuthor(s): Britta Eggers, Sandra Pacharra, Martin Eisenacher, Katrin Marcus, Julian Uszkoreit, Maarten DhaenensAbstractIn a common proteomics analysis today, the origins of our sample in the vial are known and therefore a database dependent approach to identify the containing peptides can be used. The first YPIC challenge though provided us with 19 synthetic peptides, which together formed an English sentence. For the identification of these peptides, a de-novo approach was used, which brought us together with an internet search engine to the hidd...

Quick and clean: Cracking sentences encoded in E. coli by LC–MS/MS, de novo sequencing, and dictionary search
In this study, we faced the challenge of deciphering a protein that has been designed and expressed by E. coli in such a way that the amino acid sequence encodes two concatenated English sentences. The letters ‘O’ and ‘U’ in the sentence are both replaced by ‘K’ in the protein. The sequence cannot be found online and carried to-be-discovered modifications. With limited information in hand, to solve the challenge, we developed a workflow consisting of bottom-up proteomics, de novo sequencing and a bioinformatics pipeline for data processing and searching for frequently appearing words. We assembled a complete fi...
