  Lutefisk - de novo MS/MS Sequencing
Consequently, we are faced with the question of whether the protein under investigation is novel, or if the non-matching spectra are due to less exciting prospects such as inter-species variation, database sequence errors, or unexpected proteolytic cleavages.
To begin addressing this problem we perform a de novointerpretation of the CID spectra using the computer program Lutefisk; however, any such interpretations nearly always yield multiple sequence candidates, where it is often difficult or impossible to distinguish the correct sequence from the incorrect ones.
The variations between candidate sequences are often minor and typically involve dipeptide inversions, swapping of dipeptides of the same mass, replacements of dipeptides with single amino acids of the same mass, and replacements of amino acids by dipeptides of the same mass.
