About MAGIC

MAGIC(Mass spectrometry-based Automated Glycopeptide IdentifiCation platform) is an automated tool for glycopeptide identification and glycan composition determination. MAGIC adopts a novel Trident algorithm for accurate Y1-ion detection and generates in silico peptide MS/MS spectra for database searches. MAGIC provides the flexibility in setting detection criteria, visualization of each spectrum with peak annotated and a summary report for export. MS/MS spectra in Mascot Distiller MGF and Mascot XML are recommended format for input and identification results, respectively.
