This application is used to digest a protein database to get all peptides given a cleavage enzyme.

The output can be used e.g. as a blacklist filter input to IDFilter, to remove certain peptides.

Note: Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*                  Input file (valid formats: 'fasta')
  -out <file>*                 Output file (peptides) (valid formats: 'idXML', 'fasta')
  -out_type <type>             Set this if you cannot control the filename of 'out', e.g., in TOPPAS. (valid:
                               'idXML', 'fasta')
  -missed_cleavages <number>   The number of allowed missed cleavages (default: '1' min: '0')

Options for FASTA output files:
  -FASTA:ID <option>           Identifier to use for each peptide: copy from parent protein (parent); a conse

  -FASTA:description <option>  Keep or remove the (possibly lengthy) FASTA header description. Keeping it 
                               can increase resulting FASTA file significantly. (default: 'remove' valid:
                               'remove', 'keep')

                               
Common UTIL options:
  -ini <file>                  Use the given TOPP INI file
