P.NET: Our Proposed Plat<strong>for</strong>m: Proteomics.NET<br />

We <strong>the</strong>n processed each resulting raw spectrum as described above. For<br />

each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five resulting concentration groups we ran <strong>the</strong> peak detection algorithm<br />

<strong>of</strong> our plat<strong>for</strong>m and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bruker s<strong>of</strong>tware. Table 3.4.1 summarizes<br />

<strong>the</strong> findings:<br />

The algorithms successfully detect peaks even <strong>for</strong> very small concentrations<br />

at pMol/L level. This is exemplarily shown <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> hormones Angiotensin,<br />

Bombesin and ACTH clip 18-39 which can be detected in a very low and biologically<br />

relevant concentration range ( ∼3 pMol/L). Peaks <strong>for</strong> Angiotensin<br />

and Bombesin are not detected by commercial s<strong>of</strong>tware 10 . There<strong>for</strong>e, in <strong>the</strong>se<br />

examples, our algorithm is at least 20000 times more sensitive than a commercial<br />

algorithm using a signal-to-noise threshold.<br />
