Overview
Byonic provides unequaled sensitivity and high throughput workflows for quick, accurate mass spectrometry analysis
User Friendly, Vendor Neutral Protein Identification Software
Designed for ease of use, Byonic seamlessly handles diverse proteomics experiments, including data-dependent, data-independent, bottom-up, top-down, glycoprotein, and phosphoprotein analysis. Byonic's broad compatibility with mass spectrometry data formats (CID, TOF-TOF, QTOF HCD, ETD/ECD, EThcD) ensures flexibility across different instrument platforms.
Accurate Scoring and Wide Searches
Byonic improves usability and greatly decreases the rate of inadvertent mistakes by setting database search parameters in a semi-automated, guided fashion. Byonic is more sensitive (more true positives), specific (fewer false positives), and enables a wider variety of searches than other search engines.
High Throughput Workflows & Reporting
Byonic optimizes search engine performance for high throughput workflows with focused databases, lists of prebuilt modifications, searchable common contaminants, and multi core architecture. Byonic provides useful output reports of identified glycopeptides/proteins.
Features
Modification Fine Control
Byonic is optimized for the complex modification search of peptides, which can be used to search for various combinations of modification types. Detailed control of the types and numbers of post-translational modifications allowed on candidate peptides focuses search efforts on peptides most likely to match mass spectra.
Wildcard Search
Study protein samples with insufficient databases, highly modified proteins, and guard against false negatives with Wildcard Search. Easily find sequence variants, unknown modifications, and known but unanticipated modifications.
Glycopeptide Search
Identify glycopeptides without prior knowledge of glycan masses or glycosylation sites. Byonic scores and annotates multiple types of glycopeptide fragments to deduce the peptide carrier, glycan and modification site.
