The Omnitrap design requires ions to be cooled through a gas pulse prior to any ion manipulation. The original design used a single gas valve that had a maximum repetition rate of 10\u2009Hz (Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig6\">1b<\/a>).

Pleasingly, the efficiency of peptide sequencing by EID (24.8%) and UVPD (25.6%), expressed as the ratio of the number of confidently identified PSMs to that of acquired MS2 scans, is essentially the same as by HCD (24.9%), while the efficiency of sequencing by ECD (30.3%) was the best (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig2\">2c<\/a>).

UVPD has marginally higher hyperscores in the low-<i>m<\/i>\/<i>z<\/i> range than HCD, and EID produces lower hyperscores in the high-<i>m<\/i>\/<i>z<\/i> range than UVPD and HCD.

We interpret these observations as the reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio that follows the spreading of available fragment signal across a larger number of produced fragments in spectra of long and highly charged peptides, that is, signal splitting. The difference in number of identifications with the same 1% FDR was marginal for UVPD and EID when we increased the number of fragment types all the way up to <i>a, b, c, x, y, z<\/i>, as long as the <i>b<\/i>, <i>y<\/i> fragments were included (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig2\">2b<\/a>).

Our model shares similarity with the original Prosit model in that the sequence and metadata are separately encoded into latent spaces and combined in the interior of the network, but the metadata have slightly changed, and the model outputs predicted intensities of 815 fragment ions of various length, charge and fragment type (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig3\">3b<\/a>). Results show very little overtraining: the median Pearson correlations for ECD, UVPD, HCD and EID are 0.919, 0.931, 0.950 and 0.897, respectively, on the training set, and the corresponding scores for the test set are only ~0.005 lower for each fragmentation method (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig3\">3c<\/a> and Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig9\">4<\/a>). Furthermore, we observe that precursor charge is consequential for prediction performance, with precursor charges greater than 2 having an increasingly wide range of Pearson correlations, likely to be due to the sparsity of high charge precursors in the training set and increasingly complex fragment ions present in the spectra. Pleasingly, we see that conditioned on the fragmentation method the model reliably assigns appreciable intensity only to those fragments expected for each fragmentation method, for example <i>b<\/i>, <i>y<\/i> for HCD and <i>c<\/i>, <i>z<\/i> for ECD (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig3\">3d,e<\/a>).

The resulting distributions for target and decoy (a priori false-positive) PSMs were heavily intermixed and shifted towards smaller ratios. EID and UVPD ratios were particularly small due to a large number of theoretical ions. We then calculated the same ratios but allowed only fragments predicted by Prosit (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4a<\/a> and Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig10\">5<\/a>, lower distributions). The inclusion of only predicted fragments split the distribution of ratios of target PSMs, in which the majority shifted towards higher values with a larger portion being above 0.8, and the remainder were essentially unchanged. At the same time, the ratio of decoy PSMs remained clustered at lower values. This indicates a substantial improvement in the alignment between the observed and predicted fragment ions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-section__figure js-c-reading-companion-figures-item\" data-test=\"figure\" data-container-section=\"figure\" id=\"figure-4\" data-title=\"Intensity prediction improves database search quality of ECD, EID, HCD and UVPD data.\">\n<figure><figcaption><b id=\"Fig4\" class=\"c-article-section__figure-caption\" data-test=\"figure-caption-text\">Fig. 4: Intensity prediction improves database search quality of ECD, EID, HCD and UVPD data.<\/b><\/figcaption><div class=\"c-article-section__figure-content\">\n<div class=\"c-article-section__figure-item\"><a class=\"c-article-section__figure-link\" data-test=\"img-link\" data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"image\" data-track-action=\"view figure\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9\/figures\/4\" rel=\"nofollow\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.springernature.com\/lw685\/springer-static\/image\/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41592-026-03042-9\/MediaObjects\/41592_2026_3042_Fig4_HTML.png?as=webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"figure-4-desc\" src=\"https:\/\/media.springernature.com\/lw685\/springer-static\/image\/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41592-026-03042-9\/MediaObjects\/41592_2026_3042_Fig4_HTML.png\" alt=\"Fig. 4: Intensity prediction improves database search quality of ECD, EID, HCD and UVPD data.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"685\" height=\"655\"\/><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-section__figure-description\" data-test=\"bottom-caption\" id=\"figure-4-desc\">\n<p><b>a<\/b>, Histogram of the ratio of experimentally observed ions to all theoretically possible fragments (upper distributions); and histogram of the ratio of predicted and experimentally observed ions to all predicted ions (lower distributions). <b>b<\/b>, Correlation of Percolator scores for all target and decoy PSMs obtained from the rescoring of the MSFragger (top) and Oktoberfest (right) sets of scores for selected combinations of enzyme and fragmentation technique.

While rescoring led to remarkable separation of decoys from targets for the majority of enzyme\u2013fragmentation method pairs (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4b<\/a> and Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S11<\/a>\u2013<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S15<\/a>), ECD in general demonstrated sufficient separation in database searches, such that rescoring delivers only marginal improvements in identification (Supplementary Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S11<\/a>). This partly explains the highest identification rate observed for ECD in the initial database searches (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig2\">2c<\/a>). We attribute this to the relative cleanliness of ECD spectra that consist primarily of <i>c<\/i>, <i>z<\/i> fragments, precursor ions and charge-reduced species, thus reducing chances for random false matches. Interestingly, ECD was the only technique in which it was possible to discriminate the distributions of charge states among target PSMs after rescoring, which reflects the distinct charge-dependent kinetics of this process (Supplementary Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S16<\/a>). Using rescoring, we were able to salvage a substantial number of PSMs in all combinations of enzyme and dissociation method (quadrant II in Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4b<\/a> and Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S11<\/a>\u2013<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S15<\/a>). At the same time, a high number of PSMs initially identified were discarded (quadrant IV in Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4b<\/a> and Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S11<\/a>\u2013<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S15<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>To evaluate how this separation of scores translated into gains and losses of PSMs and peptides, we compared the results of the database search and rescoring at both 1% PSM-level (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4c<\/a>) and 1% peptide-level FDR (Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S17<\/a> and <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S18<\/a>). The number of gained PSMs varied (depending on the enzyme and fragmentation method) between approximately 3% and 40.5%, with chymotrypsin HCD data producing a notable gain of 40.5%. The latter observation is consistent with our previous findings<sup><a data-track=\"click\" data-track-action=\"reference anchor\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-test=\"citation-ref\" aria-label=\"Reference 27\" title=\"Gessulat, S. et al.

Remarkably, chymotrypsin was also the main beneficiary of rescoring in UVPD and EID data. This demonstrates the usefulness of rescoring for expanded search spaces characterized by an increased number of possible charge states, allowed missed cleavages and reduced enzyme specificity, all of which are typical for chymotrypsin (Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig7\">2a<\/a>). Consistent with the score distributions (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4b<\/a> and Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S11<\/a>\u2013<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S15<\/a>), ECD had the lowest number of gained PSMs and peptides regardless of protease among all fragmentation techniques (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4c<\/a> and Supplementary Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S17<\/a>). Further investigation of ECD data shows that prediction of retention time and of fragment intensity generated similar gains, each adding approximately 6.5% of PSMs (<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">Supplementary Notes<\/a> and Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig11\">6<\/a>). Such a relatively modest contribution of retention time predictions shows that improvements observed after rescoring of other combinations of enzyme and fragmentation technique are primarily driven by the new Prosit model.<\/p>\n<p>To explore the reasons for the varying number of gains observed, we investigated the recovery of estimated true-positive PSMs. We compared the number of estimated true positives across a range of FDR thresholds (by subtracting the number of decoy PSMs from the number of target PSMs at different FDR cut-offs) before and after rescoring with the total number of estimated true positives in the dataset that could be recovered from the initial search results, by subtracting the total number of decoys from the total number of target PSMs (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4d<\/a> and Supplementary Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S19<\/a>). At 1% PSM-level FDR, rescored ECD, EID and UVPD searches recovered more than 97% of possible true positives, while the original database searches extracted approximately 95% in ECD, 87% in EID, 85% in UVPD, and 84% in HCD. At a stricter FDR of 0.01%, the results after rescoring still captured more than 75% of all estimated possible true positives, with ECD showing the highest proportion approaching 85%. At the same FDR level, initial database searches identified less than 70% of possible true positives in ECD and less than 55% in all other dissociation methods (Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig4\">4d<\/a>). The analysis shows that data-driven rescoring using the pan-fragmentation Prosit model substantially increases the proportion of estimated true-positive PSMs retained at stringent thresholds, approaching saturation of the set of PSMs recoverable from the initial MSFragger search results. It is important to note that further correct identifications, for example from modified peptides not considered in the initial search, cannot be considered in the estimation of the number of true positives.<\/p>\n<p>The rescoring data provided an opportunity to inspect the efficacy of each enzyme and dissociation technique for proteome analysis (<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">Supplementary Notes<\/a>, Extended Data Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig12\">7<\/a> and <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig13\">8<\/a> and Supplementary Figs. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S20<\/a>\u2013<a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S24<\/a>).

To assess complementarity at the protein sequence level we represented our data at the amino acid level. In general terms, when comparing the complementarity of trypsin against its alternatives, we saw substantial improvements in proteome coverage for all fragmentation techniques (Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig12\">7b<\/a> and Supplementary Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"supplementary material anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#MOESM1\">S20b<\/a>); in fact, the unique combined coverage for LysN, LysC, GluC and chymotrypsin was more than that for trypsin.

It should be noted that each trypsin fraction was essentially analyzed with LC-MS four times, and a more exhaustive LC-MS analysis would not significantly increase proteome coverage, and hence the amount of analysis time for the other enzymes versus trypsin is not an important factor in the comparison. Further analysis of unique coverage for each fragmentation technique showed that UVPD produced the most amount of unique data, with HCD and ECD close behind, and EID the least (Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig12\">7c<\/a>).

We reanalyzed the deep proteome data in MSFragger to compare the results with and without MSBooster and found very similar gains to those observed using Oktoberfest at both the PSM and peptide levels (Extended Data Fig. <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"figure anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Fig14\">9<\/a>). Combined with the optimization of search parameters in FragPipe, we can now perform both data-dependent and data-independent acquisition (DDA and DIA, respectively) analyses (pseudo-DDA through the use of DIA-Umpire) for all activation techniques. The ability to now utilize these activation techniques with DIA approaches led us to create DIA methodologies for the Orbitrap-Omnitrap. The change in ion population, both in terms of ion density and distribution of charge states, required adjustment of the acquisition parameters for each dissociation technique both at the Exploris and Omnitrap level (see <a data-track=\"click\" data-track-label=\"link\" data-track-action=\"section anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41592-026-03042-9#Sec9\">Methods<\/a>).

However, CID shows limitations in characterizing post-translational modifications and complex proteoforms. Here we have developed an integrated mass spectrometry platform enabling automated collision-, electron- and photon-based fragmentation techniques. Using multi-enzyme deep proteomics workflows, we generated comprehensive datasets to train a unified Prosit deep learning model predicting spectra across all dissociation methods. This publicly available model, now integrated into FragPipe&#8217;s MSBooster module, increased protein identifications by &amp;gt;10% on average for both data-dependent and data-independent acquisition across all fragmentation techniques. We demonstrate that alternative approaches, particularly electron-induced and ultraviolet photodissociation, which generate richer, more informative spectra, achieve identification efficiency competitive with CID while providing superior sequence coverage. This work establishes a framework enabling routine application of advanced fragmentation techniques in standard proteomics pipelines. An integrated mass spectrometry platform enabling automated collision-, electron- and photon-based fragmentation techniques is presented. A deep learning-based model trained to predict spectra across all dissociation methods further enhances protein identification.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-LC-MS-workflows-using.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-LC-MS-workflows-using.png","width":685,"height":261,"caption":"Fig. 1: Optimization of ECD, EID, and UVPD parameters in bottom-up experiments."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"In\u00edcio","item":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Integration of alternative fragmentation techniques into standard LC-MS workflows using a single deep learning model enhances proteome coverage"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/#website","url":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/","name":"Ubirat\u00e3 Online Not\u00edcias","description":"Not\u00edcias de Ubirat\u00e3, regi\u00e3o, Brasil e mundo, com informa\u00e7\u00e3o atualizada e compromisso com o leitor.","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/#organization"},"alternateName":"Ubirat\u00e3 Online","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":["Organization","Place"],"@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/#organization","name":"Ubirat\u00e3 Online Not\u00edcias","alternateName":"Ubirat\u00e3 Online","url":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/","logo":{"@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/#local-main-organization-logo"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/ubirataonline.com.br\/integration-of-alternative-fragmentation-techniques-into-standard-lc-ms-workflows-using-a-single-deep-learning-model-enhances-proteome-coverage\/#local-main-organization-logo"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/portalubirataonline","https:\/\/x.com\/ubirataonline","https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ubirataonline","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/311144672285604","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UBTAOnline","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/portalubirataonline\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/ubirataonline"],"description":"Somos um portal de not\u00edcias independente, criado em 5 de janeiro de 2009, com o objetivo de informar, conectar e valorizar a nossa comunidade de Ubirat\u00e3 e toda aregi\u00e3o.
