This application is used to digest a protein database to get all peptides given a cleavage enzyme. It will also produce peptide statistics given the mass accuracy of the instrument. You can extract peptides with specific motifs,e.g. onyl cysteine containing peptides for ICAT experiments. At the moment only trypsin is supported.
