  Background: Extracting biological meaning from proteomic datasets containing post-translational modification is a central challenge of large scale proteomics and systems biology. We report the generation of a new program (ReportSites) to precisely identify the location and local chemical environment of a particular amino acid residue, or group of residues, within large-scale proteomic data sets, using peptide sequences characterized by mass spectrometry combined with protein sequence databases. The program is ideally suited to distilling regional and spatial information from post-translational modification data sets, wherein patterns of sequence surrounding processed sites may reveal more about the functional and structural requirements of the modification and the biochemical processes that regulate them. Results: We developed ReportSites usin.. View More»
