How to connect identifiers in the mass spectroscopy and string database

Hi,

I have a problem with the identifiers in the mass spectrometry data and the STRING-db. I want to know how to connect these and use information in the project.Can you suggest if there are databases that can translate any of the identifiers in the ms data into ENSP?

Thanks

Your question is very vague. The mass spec identifier depends on the software used to process the data. Which kind of identifer do you have?

I'm sorry, but it sounds like you have not made the effort of understanding what your "MATLAB software" is doing. MATLAB is a general programming language, and it is not descriptive of your problem.

String-db provides an index file to do mapping from major gene/protein databases (Ensembl, Entrez, Uniprot etc).

You can get the files here. You can use this for mapping.

protein.aliases.v9.1.txt.gz (445 Mb)    aliases for STRING proteins: locus names, accessions, descriptions...

Hi,

It is MATLAB software and we need to connect mass spectroscopy identifiers to ENSP identifiers...

Thank you
