Non Canonical N-linked Glycosylation Motifs

[ABB-808]

Greetings,

I am not sure if this is currently possible, but it would be great to allow MSFragger-Glyco (N-linked workflows) to assign glycans to peptides with a motif that is not N-X-S/T. It would be great to also search non-canonical sites such as N-X-C and N-X-V, etc. Is there a way to do this with the current build?

Thanks!

Hi,
There is not a way to search a multi-amino acid motif other than N-X-S/T currently, but you can search any single amino acid using the labile mode (e.g., any N). Customized motifs is something I'd like to support though - I will plan to add it sometime soon (though probably not in time for our upcoming release) and can share a version with you when it's ready.

Best,
Dan
