Semi-enzymatic peptide generation #92

Closed FriedLabJHU closed 8 months ago

FriedLabJHU commented 8 months ago

We perform many limited proteolysis experiments that rely on broad-spectrum proteases followed by a tryptic work-up. It would be nice to see a specific option for these searches.

Semi-enzymatic - where peptides are first generated between specific cleave_at sites & then all possible peptides between min_len and max_len betweencleave_at sites are also generated (accounting for missed cleavages). This is technically covered by the non-enzymatic option, but many peptides that would not be generated by the experiment would be searched.

cleave_at="?KR" could be the notation for a semi-tryptic. We will try and do a PR on our attempt at this.

Nice tool!
