# 1 Introduction

This vignette is one among several illustrating how to use the `PSMatch` package, focusing on the calculation and visualisation of MS2 fragment ions. For a general overview of the package, see the `PSMatch` package manual page (`?PSMatch`) and references therein.

To illustrate this vignette, we will import and merge raw and identification data from the msdata. For details about this section, please visit the Spectra package webpage.

Load the raw MS data:

    (spf <- msdata::proteomics(pattern = "2014", full.names = TRUE))

    ## [1] "F:/biocbuild/bbs-3.18-bioc/R/library/msdata/proteomics/TMT_Erwinia_1uLSike_Top10HCD_isol2_45stepped_60min_01-20141210.mzML.gz"

    library(Spectra)
    sp <- Spectra(spf)

Load the identification data:

    (idf <- msdata::ident(pattern = "2014", full.names = TRUE))

    ## [1] "F:/biocbuild/bbs-3.18-bioc/R/library/msdata/ident/TMT_Erwinia_1uLSike_Top10HCD_isol2_45stepped_60min_01-20141210.mzid"

    id <- PSM(idf) |> filterPSMs()

    ## Starting with 5802 PSMs:

    ## Removed 2896 decoy hits.

    ## Removed 155 PSMs with rank > 1.

    ## Removed 85 shared peptides.

    ## 2666 PSMs left.

    id

    ## PSM with 2666 rows and 35 columns.
    ## names(35): sequence spectrumID ... subReplacementResidue subLocation

Merge both:

    sp <- joinSpectraData(sp, id, by.x = "spectrumId", by.y = "spectrumID")

    ## Warning in joinSpectraData(sp, id, by.x = "spectrumId", by.y = "spectrumID"):
    ## Duplicates found in the 'y' key. Only last instance will be kept!

In this example, we are going to focus the MS2 scan with index 5449 and its parent MS1 scan (index 5447, selected automatically with the filterPrecursorScan() function).

    sp5449 <- filterPrecursorScan(sp, 5449)

    plotSpectra(sp5449[1], xlim = c(550, 1200))
    abline(v = precursorMz(sp5449)[2], col = "red", lty = "dotted")

# 2 Calculating fragment ions

The MS2 scan was matched to `SQILQQAGTSVLSQANQVPQTVLSLLR` (there was obviously no match the the MS1 scan):

    sp5449$sequence

    ## [1] NA                            "SQILQQAGTSVLSQANQVPQTVLSLLR"

The `calculateFragments()` simply takes a peptide sequence as input and returns a `data.frame` with the fragment sequences, M/Z, ion type, charge and position.

    calculateFragments(sp5449$sequence[2])

# 3 Visualising fragment ions

We can now visualise these fragments directly on the MS spectrum. Let’s first visualise the spectrum as is:

    plotSpectra(sp5449[2])

    plotSpectra(sp5449[2], labels = addFragments, labelPos = 3)
