MOWSE (protein research)
MOlecular Weight SEarch (MOWSE) is a method to determine proteins based on the molar mass of their peptides . This is determined by mass spectrometry .
The MOWSE algorithm was developed by Darryl Pappin and David Perkins at the British Imperial Cancer Research Fund and licensed from Cancer Research Technology. The probability-based MOWSE score formed the basis for the development of Mascot , a software for the identification of proteins using data from mass spectrometry.
