Crescendo: A Protein Sequence Database Search Engine for Tandem Mass Spectra
Crescendo: A Protein Sequence Database Search Engine for Tandem Mass Spectra is a scholarly work, published in 2015 in ''Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry''. The main subjects of the publication include mass spectrometry, comet, mascot, protein database, biological sequence, database, computer science, computational biology, proteomics, search engine, software, chemistry, database search engine, tandem mass spectrometry, and identification. The authors propose two new scoring functions (L- and P-scores), which aim to capture similar characteristics of a peptide-spectrum match (PSM) as Sequest and Comet do.
