Collision‐activated dissociation and electron‐transfer dissociation (ETD) each produce spectra containing unique features. Though several database search algorithms ( e.g. SEQUEST, MASCOT, and Open Mass Spectrometry Search Algorithm) have been modified to search ETD data, this consists chiefly of the ability to search for c ‐ and z • ‐ions; additional ETD‐specific features are often unaccounted for and may hinder identification. Removal of these features via spectral processing increased total search sensitivity by ∼20% for both human and yeast data sets; unique peptide identifications increased by ∼17% for the yeast data sets and ∼16% for the human data set.
