1. Resource Description

   "Mascot is a powerful search engine which uses mass spectrometry data to identify proteins from primary sequence databases. While a number of similar programs available, Mascot is unique in that it integrates all of the proven methods of searching. These different search methods can be categorised as follows: * Peptide Mass Fingerprint in which the only experimental data are peptide mass values. * Sequence Query in which peptide mass data are combined with amino acid sequence and composition information. A super-set of a sequence tag query. * MS/MS Ion Search using uninterpreted MS/MS data from one or more peptides."
