        Identification Summary

        Number of Peptides identified Per Protein

        This plot shows the number of peptides per protein in the MaxQuant data.
        This statistic is extracted from the proteinGroups.txt file. Proteins supported by more peptide identifications can constitute more confident results.
        Created with MultiQC

        ProteinGroups Count [MBR gain: +8.8%]

        [Excludes Contaminants] Number of Protein groups (after FDR) per Raw file.
        If MBR was enabled, three categories ('Genuine (Exclusive)', 'Genuine + Transferred', 'Transferred (Exclusive)' are shown, so the user can judge the gain that MBR provides. Here, 'Transferred (Exclusive)' means that this protein group has peptide evidence which originates only from transferred peptide IDs. The quantification is (of course) always from the local Raw file. Proteins in the 'Genuine + Transferred' category have peptide evidence from within the Raw file by MS/MS, but at the same time also peptide IDs transferred to this Raw file using MBR were used. It is not unusual to see the 'Genuine + Transferred' category be the rather large, since a protein group usually has peptide evidence from both sources. To see of MBR worked, it is better to look at the two MBR-related metrics. If MBR would be switched off, you can expect to see the number of protein groups corresponding to 'Genuine (Exclusive)' + 'Genuine + Transferred'. In general, if the MBR gain is low and the MBR scores are bad (see the two MBR-related metrics), MBR should be switched off for the Raw files which are affected (could be a few or all).

        Peptide ID Count [MBR gain: +18.46%]

        [Excludes Contaminants] Number of unique (i.e. not counted twice) peptide sequences including modifications (after FDR) per Raw file.
        If MBR was enabled, three categories ('Genuine (Exclusive)', 'Genuine + Transferred', 'Transferred (Exclusive)' are shown, so the user can judge the gain that MBR provides. Peptides in the 'Genuine + Transferred' category were identified within the Raw file by MS/MS, but at the same time also transferred to this Raw file using MBR. This ID transfer can be correct (e.g. in case of different charge states), or incorrect -- see MBR-related metrics to tell the difference. Ideally, the 'Genuine + Transferred' category should be rather small, the other two should be large. If MBR would be switched off, you can expect to see the number of peptides corresponding to 'Genuine (Exclusive)' + 'Genuine + Transferred'. In general, if the MBR gain is low and the MBR scores are bad (see the two MBR-related metrics), MBR should be switched off for the Raw files which are affected (could be a few or all).

        Missed Cleavages Per Raw File

        [Excludes Contaminants] Missed Cleavages per raw file.
        Under optimal digestion conditions (high enzyme grade etc.), only few missed cleavages (MC) are expected. In general, increased MC counts also increase the number of peptide signals, thus cluttering the available space and potentially provoking overlapping peptide signals, biasing peptide quantification. Thus, low MC counts should be favored. Interestingly, it has been shown recently that incorporation of peptides with missed cleavages does not negatively influence protein quantification (see [Chiva, C., Ortega, M., and Sabido, E. Influence of the Digestion Technique, Protease, and Missed Cleavage Peptides in Protein Quantitation. J. Proteome Res. 2014, 13, 3979-86](https://doi.org/10.1021/pr500294d) ). However this is true only if all samples show the same degree of digestion. High missed cleavage values can indicate for example, either a) failed digestion, b) a high (post-digestion) protein contamination, or c) a sample with high amounts of unspecifically degraded peptides which are not digested by trypsin. If MC>=1 is high (>20%) you should re-analyse with increased missed cleavages parameters and compare the number of peptides. Usually high MC correlates with bad identification rates, since many spectra cannot be matched to the forward database.

        In the rare case that 'no enzyme' was specified in MaxQuant, neither scores nor plots are shown.

        Modifications Per Raw File

        Compute an occurrence table of modifications (e.g. Oxidation (M)) for all peptides, including the unmodified (but without contaminants).
        Post-translational modifications contained within the identified peptide sequence.

        The plot will show percentages, i.e. is normalized by the total number of peptide sequences (where different charge state counts as a separate peptide) per Raw file. The sum of frequencies may exceed 100% per Raw file, since a peptide can have multiple modifications.

        E.g. given three peptides in a single Raw file
        1. _M(Oxidation (M))LVLDEADEM(Oxidation (M))LNK_
        2. _(Acetyl (Protein N-term))M(Oxidation (M))YGLLLENLSEYIK_
        3. DPFIANGER

        , the following frequencies arise:

        * 33% of 'Acetyl (Protein N-term)'
        * 33% of 'Oxidation (M)'
        * 33% of '2 Oxidation (M)'
        * 33% of 'Unmodified'

        Thus, 33% of sequences are unmodified, implying 66% are modified at least once. If a modification, e.g. Oxidation(M), occurs multiple times in a single peptide it's listed as a separate modification (e.g. '2 Oxidation (M)' for double oxidation of a single peptide).

        Contaminants

        Top5 Contaminants Per Raw File

        The five most abundant external protein contaminants by Raw file
        pmultiqc will explicitly show the five most abundant external protein contaminants (as detected via MaxQuant's contaminants FASTA file) by Raw file, and summarize the remaining contaminants as 'other'. This allows to track down which proteins exactly contaminate your sample. Low contamination is obviously better. If you see less than 5 contaminants, it either means there are actually less, or that one (or more) of the shortened contaminant names subsume multiple of the top5 contaminants (since they start with the same prefix).
        Created with MultiQC

        Potential Contaminants Per File

        Potential contaminants per group from proteinGroups.txt.
        External protein contamination should be controlled for, therefore MaxQuant ships with a comprehensive, yet customizable protein contamination database, which is searched by MaxQuant by default. A contamination plot derived from the proteinGroups (PG) table, showing the fraction of total protein intensity attributable to contaminants. Note that this plot is based on experimental groups, and therefore may not correspond 1:1 to Raw files.

        Quantification Analysis

        Protein Intensity Distribution

        Protein intensity boxplots by experimental groups. Groups are user-defined during MaxQuant configuration. This plot displays a (customizable) threshold line for the desired mean intensity of proteins. Groups which underperform here, are likely to also suffer from a worse MS/MS id rate and higher contamination due to the lack of total protein loaded/detected. If possible, all groups should show a high and consistent amount of total protein. The height of the bar correlates to the number of proteins with non-zero abundance.

        LFQ Intensity Distribution

        Label-free quantification (LFQ) intensity boxplots by experimental groups.
        Label-free quantification (LFQ) intensity boxplots by experimental groups. Groups are user-defined during MaxQuant configuration. This plot displays a (customizable) threshold line for the desired mean of LFQ intensity of proteins. Raw files which underperform in *Raw* intensity, are likely to show an *increased* mean here, since only high-abundance proteins are recovered and quantifyable by MaxQuant in this Raw file. The remaining proteins are likely to receive an LFQ value of 0 (i.e. do not contribute to the distribution). The height of the bar correlates to the number of proteins with non-zero abundance.

        Peptide Intensity Distribution

        Peptide precursor intensity per Raw file from evidence.txt WITHOUT match-between-runs evidence.
        Peptide precursor intensity per Raw file from evidence.txt WITHOUT match-between-runs evidence. Low peptide intensity usually goes hand in hand with low MS/MS identifcation rates and unfavourable signal/noise ratios, which makes signal detection harder. Also instrument acquisition time increases for trapping instruments. Failing to reach the intensity threshold is usually due to unfavorable column conditions, inadequate column loading or ionization issues. If the study is not a dilution series or pulsed SILAC experiment, we would expect every condition to have about the same median log-intensity.

        PCA of Raw Intensity

        [Excludes Contaminants] Principal components plots of experimental groups (as defined during MaxQuant configuration).
        This plot is shown only if more than one experimental group was defined. If LFQ was activated in MaxQuant, an additional PCA plot for LFQ intensities is shown. Similarly, if iTRAQ/TMT reporter intensities are detected. Since experimental groups and Raw files do not necessarily correspond 1:1, this plot may not reflect individual raw file performance.

        MS2 and Spectral Stats

        Charge-state of Per File

        The distribution of the charge-state of the precursor ion, excluding potential contaminants.
        Charge distribution per Raw file. For typtic digests, peptides of charge 2 (one N-terminal and one at tryptic C-terminal R or K residue) should be dominant. Ionization issues (voltage?), in-source fragmentation, missed cleavages and buffer irregularities can cause a shift (see Bittremieux 2017, DOI: 10.1002/mas.21544). The charge distribution should be similar across Raw files. Consistent charge distribution is paramount for comparable 3D-peak intensities across samples.

        This plot ignores charge states of contaminants.

        MS/MS Counts Per 3D-peak

        An oversampled 3D-peak is defined as a peak whose peptide ion (same sequence and same charge state) was identified by at least two distinct MS2 spectra in the same Raw file.
        For high complexity samples, oversampling of individual 3D-peaks automatically leads to undersampling or even omission of other 3D-peaks, reducing the number of identified peptides. Oversampling occurs in low-complexity samples or long LC gradients, as well as undersized dynamic exclusion windows for data independent acquisitions.

        If DIA-Data: this metric is skipped.

        RT Quality Control

        IDs over RT

        Distribution of retention time, derived from the evidence table.
        The uncalibrated retention time in minutes in the elution profile of the precursor ion, and does not include potential contaminants.

        This plot allows to judge column occupancy over retention time. Ideally, the LC gradient is chosen such that the number of identifications (here, after FDR filtering) is uniform over time, to ensure consistent instrument duty cycles. Sharp peaks and uneven distribution of identifications over time indicate potential for LC gradient optimization. See [Moruz 2014, DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201400036](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24700534/) for details.

        Peak width over RT

        Distribution of widths of peptide elution peaks, derived from the evidence table.
        The distribution of the widths of peptide elution peaks, derived from the evidence table and excluding potential contaminants, is one parameter of optimal and reproducible chromatographic separation. Ideally, all Raw files show a similar distribution, e.g. to allow for equal conditions during dynamic precursor exclusion, RT alignment or peptide quantification.

        Ion Injection Time over RT

        Ion injection time score - should be as low as possible to allow fast cycles. Correlated with peptide intensity. Note that this threshold needs customization depending on the instrument used (e.g., ITMS vs. FTMS).

        TopN over RT

        TopN over retention time.
        TopN over retention time. Similar to ID over RT, this metric reflects the complexity of the sample at any point in time. Ideally complexity should be made roughly equal (constant) by choosing a proper (non-linear) LC gradient. See [Moruz 2014, DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201400036](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24700534/) for details.

        TopN

        This metric somewhat summarizes "TopN over RT"
        Reaching TopN on a regular basis indicates that all sections of the LC gradient deliver a sufficient number of peptides to keep the instrument busy. This metric somewhat summarizes "TopN over RT".
