“…Tandem algorithm under the Global Proteome Machine (GPM) user interface software (version 3.0, https://www.thegpm.org/) (Craig and Beavis, 2004, Craig, et al, 2004). Converted mzXML files were searched against the curated SwissProt protein database (downloaded April 2020, 562,895 proteins) supplemented with additional COL1A1 and COL1A2 sequences for species of interest including all available mammalian COL1A1 and COL1A2 sequences from the NCBI protein database, previously reported experimentally-determined marsupial peptide markers (Buckley, et al, 2017, Peters, et al, 2021), and the Common Repository of Adventitious Proteins (cRAP) database (Shin, et al, 2019). Searching was performed with the following specified parameters: Orbitrap instrument method (Âą20 ppm parent ion mass tolerance), fragment ion mass tolerance Âą0.1 Da, trypsin digestion with allowance for two missed cleavages, minimum and maximum peptide sequence lengths of 6 and 50 amino acids, respectively, and up to 4+ charge states allowed.…”
