Database search has long been the preferred method for peptide identification in shotgun proteomics. While a wide range of database search tools exist and excel for conventional workflows, they are too slow for open database searching. To make open searching practical for routine analysis, we developed a novel database search tool called MSFragger that is over 100 times faster than most existing tools.
This protocol demonstrates how to perform database searching using MSFragger. Up-to-date downloads of MSFragger and associated documentation can be found at "nesvilab.org/software.html":http://nesvilab.org/software.html.
