PEAKS is proteomic mass spectrometry software, designed for the researcher interested in highly confident results. Whether studying an unsequenced organism, sequencing synthetic peptides or analyzing known sequences, PEAKS will return optimal results.

For a quick review, download the PEAKS 5.3 brochure, which covers the many benefits of PEAKS. For existing users who know the value of PEAKS, here is a collection of new features recently added to the software.

Start with the raw (unprocessed) data straight from the mass spectrometer, use various workflows to streamline tasks at hand, and report results in a clear user interface. PEAKS will give greater coverage and confidence in one shot than many other tools combined. Even a novice can obtain publishable results within minutes.

What does PEAKS include?

	de novo Sequencing   Sequence peptides without a database and potentially identify novel peptides that are not in any databases.
	PEAKS DB   Identify proteins and peptides with maximum accuracy and sensitivity.
	inChorus   Validate your results by benchmarking several engines, including Mascot, Sequest, OMSSA, and XTandem!
	PTM Finder   Efficiently map specified PTM's and perform a more specific search in less time.
	SPIDER   Sequence tag homology searching to identify any potential mutations in the results
	PEAKS Q   Perform accurate protein quantification using either labelled and label free methods

Customer Reviews

Siena Biotech, Stefano Gotta.
"... the [PEAKS] results are really excellent as you can see from the number of high confidence PSM and from the narrow mass accuracy distribution...far better of what I could ever squeeze out of my data."

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Tim Richmond.
"Our research has always fought a "battle" against traditional MS/MS protein identification programs in that they were not flexible enough for our application. We look for endogenous peptides that are not cleaved at basic residues (necessarily) and they have multiple PTMs including amidation, acetylation, pyroglutamylation, etc. We don't do tryptic digests, we let our cells do the digesting so to speak, and therefore, other algorithms didn't allow us to search with the flexibility that PEAKS allows. Now we can identify our endogenous peptides with ease."

Martin Luther University, Christian Schmelzer.
"PEAKS has helped us to identify unmatched results or confirm ambiguous sequences found by standard database searching methods. As a whole, the sequence coverage increased dramatically for some of the proteins under investigation."
