Mass spectrometry identity matches for significant spots.

<p>Matched fragments; the number of peptides matched with the protein/the total amount of peptides in the sample. Sequence coverage; the percentage of the total protein that the matched peptides cover. Score; the score given by MASCOT, for MS results a score above 66 (56 for actin) was considered significant (p = 0.05), for MS/MS the significance level was a score of 34–37 (protein dependent).
