1 Preliminaries

ssrc (Sequence Specific Retention Calculator) is an implementation of the algorithm proposed in [1] to predict the Retention Time (RT) of a given peptide sequence.

in the following paragraphs we will play with some R packages containing peptide sequence and RT information.

define a R-helper function which derives a linear model and visualize the result

.plot.rt_ssrc <- function(x, y, ...){
  fit <- lm(y~x)
  plot(x, y, ylab='ssrc predicted RT', xlab='RT',
       cex=2,
       asp=1,
       ...)
  
  abline(fit)
  abline(a=0, b=1, col='grey', lwd=2)
  
  legend("topleft", 
         c(paste("spearman", round(cor(x, y, method='spearman'),2)),
           paste('R-squared', round(summary(fit)$r.squared,2)))
         )
}

2 Example 1 - using specL

3 Example 2 - using msqc1 peptides

library(msqc1)
## Loading required package: lattice

fetch the msqc1

msqc1.8rep.aggregate <- msqc1:::.reshape_rt(msqc1_8rep, peptides=peptides, plot=FALSE)
msqc1.dilution.aggregate <- msqc1:::.reshape_rt(msqc1_dil, peptides=peptides, plot=FALSE)

predict RT

msqc1.peptide.ssrc <- unlist(lapply(as.character(msqc1.dilution.aggregate$Peptide.Sequence), ssrc))
