MS-Simulator: Predicting <i>Y</i>-Ion Intensities for Peptides with Two Charges Based on the Intensity Ratio of Neighboring Ions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For the identification of peptides with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), many software tools rely on the comparison between an experimental spectrum and a theoretically predicted spectrum. Consequently, the accurate prediction of the theoretical spectrum from a peptide sequence can potentially improve the peptide identification performance and is an important problem for mass spectrometry based proteomics. In this study a new approach, called MS-Simulator, is presented for predicting the y-ion intensities in the spectrum of a given peptide. The new approach focuses on the accurate prediction of the relative intensity ratio between every two adjacent y-ions. The theoretical spectrum can then be derived from these ratios. The prediction of a ratio is a closed-form equation that involves up to five consecutive amino acids nearby the two y-ions and the two peptide termini. Compared with another existing spectrum prediction tool MassAnalyzer, the new approach not only simplifies the computation, but also improves the prediction accuracy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
