Finding the perfect modification for your mass shift

Mumble

Finding the perfect unimod match for your mass shifted PSM

Overview

The PSM Modification Handler is a Python-based tool designed to find candidate unimod modifications for mass shifts. The tool allows users to apply modifications to PSMs, localize mass shifts, and generate lists of modified PSMs.

Features

• PSM Modification: Apply specific modifications to PSMs and generate modified PSM lists.
• Mass Shift Localization: Identify potential modifications in peptides by localizing mass shifts.
• Flexible Input/Output: Read PSMs from various file formats, modify them, and write the results to different output formats.
• Customizable Modifications: Supports the addition of amino acid combinations and handles custom modifications through the Unimod database.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

Required Libraries

Install the required Python library using the following command:

pip install mumble

Basic Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the PSM Modification Handler for single PSMs:

>>> from mumble import PSMHandler
>>> from psm_utils import PSM

>>> # Initialize the PSMHandler
>>> psm_handler = PSMHandler(aa_combinations=0, fasta_file=None, mass_error=0.02)

>>> # Create a minimal PSM to generate modified version from
>>> psm = PSM(
...     peptidoform="ARTHR/3",
...     precursor_mz=228.129628 # Required information
... )
>>> # Generate proteoforms for given PSM with a certain MZ
>>> modified_proteoforms = PSMHandler.get_modified_peptidoforms_list(psm, keep_original=False)


>>> # Write the modified PSM list to a file
>>> psm_handler.write_modified_psm_list(modified_proteoforms, output_file="modified_proteoforms.tsv", psm_file_type="tsv")

>>> print(modified_proteoforms)
# [
#     PSM(
#         peptidoform="[Acetyl]-ARTHR/3"
#         precursor_mz=228.129628
#     )
# ]

Here's a quick example of how to use the PSM Modification Handler for PSM lists:

>>> # Or load a PSM list (from a file or PSMList object)
>>> psm_list = psm_handler.parse_psm_list("path/to/psm_file.mzid", psm_file_type="mzid")

>>> # Add modified PSMs to the list
>>> modified_psm_list = psm_handler.add_modified_psms(psm_list, generate_modified_decoys=False, keep_original=True)

>>> # Write the modified PSM list to a file
>>> psm_handler.write_modified_psm_list(modified_psm_list, output_file="modified_psms.tsv", psm_file_type="tsv")
