A novel hierarchical MS2/MS3 database search algorithm has been developed to analyze MS2/MS3 phosphopeptides proteomic data. The algorithm is incorporated in an automated database search program, MassMatrix. The algorithm matches experimental MS2 spectra against a supplied protein database to determine candidate peptide matches. It then matches the corresponding experimental MS3 spectra against those candidate peptide matches. The MS2 and MS3 spectra are used in concert to arrive at peptide matches with overall higher confidence rather than combining MS2 and MS3 data searched separately. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that hierarchical MS2/MS3 database searches with MassMatrix had better sensitivity and specificity than the two-stage MS2/MS3 database searches obtained with MassMatrix, MASCOT, and X!Tandem. A greater number of true peptide matches at a given false rate were identified by use of this new algorithm for data collected on both LCQ and LTQ-FTICR mass spectrometers. The additional MS3 spectral data also improved the overall reliability and the number of true positives (TPs) due to the fact that the TPs of the MS2/MS3 search results had higher scores than those of the MS2.
