    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for the identification and/or characterization of properties of a sample using mass spectrometry. The method involves using a measured spectrum of data from a sample taken with a mass spectrometer, deconvoluting the measured spectrum of data by applying parsimony weighting to minimize the number of charge states based on one or more of: the number of intense peaks in the mass spectrum; the number of harmonic relationships (e.g., masses in small integer ratios); and the number of off-by-one relationships (e.g., m/z bins with high probability for two adjacent charges). Thus, the underlying m/z spectrum may be inferred from the family of plausible deconvoluted spectra determined by applying parsimony and the inferred m/z spectrum may be used to identify and/or characterize the sample.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for the identification and/or characterization of properties of a macromolecule based on mass spectrometry data. Specifically, described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-intact mass spectra. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-electropherogram. The methods may be well suited for analyzing proteins and protein complexes, including estimating properties of post-translational modifications of the proteins and protein complexes. Methods may include generating a theoretical graph or spectrum based on peptide-level mass spectrometry data. In some embodiments, the theoretical graph may be a theoretical intact mass spectrum or a theoretical charge distribution spectrum.
