NIST is developing a peptide mass spectral library as an extension of the NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Library. The purpose of the library is to provide peptide reference data for laboratories employing mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods for protein analysis. Mass spectral libraries identify these compounds in a more sensitive and robust manner than alternative methods. These databases are freely available for testing and development of new applications...
We collaborate with many commercial, government and academic entities in an effort to better provide high-quality reference data and software products for mass spectrometrists.
