R: Function computing probabilities of aggregated isotopic...
calculateIsotopicProbabilitiesR Documentation

Function computing probabilities of aggregated isotopic variants using BRAIN algorithm.

Description

Function computing probabilities of aggregated isotopic variants for chemical components built from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur (e.g. peptides).

Usage

calculateIsotopicProbabilities(aC, stopOption = "nrPeaks", 
nrPeaks, coverage, abundantEstim)

Arguments

aC

List with fields C, H, N, O, S of integer non-negative values (if any field is ommited, then its value is set to 0).

stopOption

one of the following strings: "nrPeaks" (default), "coverage", "abundantEstim"

nrPeaks

Integer indicating the number of consecutive isotopic variants to be calculated, starting from the monoisotopic one. This value can always be provided, even if <stopOption> is not a default setting. In the latter case it is a hard stopping criterion.

coverage

Scalar indicating the value of the cumulative aggregated distribution. The calculations will be stopped after reaching this value.

abundantEstim

Integer indicating the number of consecutive isotopic variants to be calculated, starting from one after the most abundant one. All consecutive isotopic variants before the most abundant peak are also returned.

Details

Remember that the isotopic variants starts from the monoisotopic one. In case of large chemical molecules, first masses may have very low abundance values for the lower mass aggregated values. A sufficient number of peaks should be calculated to reach most abundant isotopic variant.

Value

Probabilities of aggregated isotopic variants (numeric vector)

Note

If also masses associated with the aggregated isotopic variants are needed, then the function useBRAIN should be used.
