Therefore, while DIA has become a popular approach for gathering reproducible, quantitative data on large numbers of peptides, DDA generally remains the optimal approach to go as deep as possible into a particular sample.
The complexity of the spectra generated by a DIA approache, however, can limit the number of peptides it can identify. This means researchers can look at the same sets of peptides across different experiments, allowing for high levels of reproducibility, which is essential to quantitative analyses.
SPEC METHOD MAP READING WINDOWS
In DIA, on the other hand, the mass spec selects broad mass windows and fragments all precursors in that window, allowing the machine to collect MS/MS spectra on all ions in a sample. Because instruments can't scan quickly enough to acquire all the precursors entering at a given moment, many ions – particularly low-abundance ions – are never selected for MS/MS fragmentation and so are not detected. In DDA mass spec, the instrument performs an initial scan of precursor ions entering the instrument and selects a sampling of those ions for fragmentation and generation of MS/MS spectra. The approach allows for use of narrowed isolation windows which leads to less complicated spectra, improving peptide identification rates, Mary Lopez, director of Thermo Fisher's Biomarker Research Initiatives in Mass Spectrometry (BRIMS) Center, told ProteoMonitor. NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a new mass spec workflow that, according to company researchers, combines the advantages of data-independent and data-dependent analyses.Ĭalled, pSMART, the method collects quantitative data at the MS1 level and then uses DIA-style analysis at the MS2 level for confirmation of the peptide sequence.
