custom Db - spectra and ion Db questions #96
Comments
yes, you can also create a database completely from skratch with a single And yes, it should be possible to add MS2 spectra from a For the adduct nomenclature - for your database you can use whatever you prefer. Maybe also have a look at Regarding isotopically labelled compounds, I guess you could add them to the As always, please let me know if you run into any problems or if something is not working as expected and I will adapt. It's hard to foresee all possible use cases, but the system should be flexible enough so that we can adapt it. |
Hello developers - excellent work on this collection of packages. this is exciting, and i am eager to start implementing them in my workflows! I can see applications that you have outlined in the vignette(s), but i can also see applications where i have a specific custom set of structures/spectra that are generated completely in-house. Do you have any documents describing how to create a small custom structure and/or spectra Db from scratch?
i.e. lets say i have a 100 compound mixture i use regularly, and i want to build a Db containing only that. I know the compounds, so i have inchi/key, smiles, names, some accession number of some sort, is the best approach to build my own tibble with all the correct headers, to create a compound database? From the vignette, it would seem that any tibble with the correct headers would suffice. I think this step is readily adapted to a custom database from a table format.
I then want to append MS/MS spectra to supplement the structures, is there a guide for importing these spectra and attaching? The examples all refer to preformatted spectra from various databases - does .msp have an importer? If i have a spectrum from an R processing session (i.e. from parsing raw mzML data using the Spectra::Spectra function) can i attached it manually?
I have ions/adducts/fragments, is there a standard nomenclature to be used for adducts? [M+H]+ is pretty standard, but what about a neutral loss from that, lets say two waters fall off. This could be expresseed as [M+H-H2O-H2O]+, or [M+H-2(H2O)]+, or [M+H-H4O2]+, or [M-H3O2]+... do you have any guidance on (in)compatibilities or best practices?
Also, do you have a compatible format for isotopically labelled compounds in the compound Db and/or Ion Db?
