B. Results of the sequential digestion workflow applied to a synthetic 7-protein mix, compared to using trypsin alone in four replicates and parallel digestion with trypsin, AspN, chymotrypsin and GluC. A trypsin four replicate experiment shows a large overlap of the four datasets with little gain. Parallel digestions with trypsin, AspN, chymotrypsin and GluC demonstrates high complementarity but moderate gains over trypsin. Sequential digestion shows low overlap between the four datasets and the largest gain in unique residue pairs. C. Gains of repeated analysis (trypsin only), parallel digestion and sequential digestion for the same data as shown in panel B.
