Commands:
Sequences > Sequence
Window > Residue Library

A sequence view displays a single amino acid sequence and its calculated fragment ions. It is used to project its fragment ions in a related fragment spectrum.

Sequence views are generated by the command Sequences > Sequence View. Sequence views are used to work with individual amino acid sequences in Arcadiate. They depend on an external residue library.

Sequence View
A sequence view allows to type in an amino acid sequence. The text field only accepts letters that are defined in the associated residue library. The residue library is accessed by pressing the Properties button or by using the command Window > Residue Library. Codes of residues consisting of serveral letters have to be bracketed by round brackets. A sequence view can be linked to a spectrum using the link icon . The fragment masses of selected columns will be projected over the spectrum.
