findMsMsHR.ticms2: Extract an MS/MS spectrum from MS2 TIC

In RMassBank: Workflow to process tandem MS files and build MassBank records

Description

Extract an MS/MS spectrum or multiple MS/MS spectra based on the TIC of the MS2 and precursor mass, picking the most intense MS2 scan. Can be used, for example, to get a suitable MS2 from direct infusion data which was collected with purely targeted MS2 without MS1.

Usage

findMsMsHR.ticms2(
  msRaw,
  mz,
  limit.coarse,
  limit.fine,
  rtLimits = NA,
  maxCount = NA,
  headerCache = NULL,
  fillPrecursorScan = FALSE,
  deprofile = getOption("RMassBank")$deprofile,
  trace = "ms2tic"
)

Arguments

msRaw	The mzR raw file
mz	Mass to find
limit.coarse	Allowed mass deviation for scan precursor (in m/z values)
limit.fine	Unused here, but present for interface compatiblity with findMsMsHR
rtLimits	Unused here, but present for interface compatiblity with findMsMsHR
maxCount	Maximal number of spectra to return
headerCache	Cached results of header(msRaw), either to speed up the operations or to operate with preselected header() data
fillPrecursorScan	Unused here, but present for interface compatiblity with findMsMsHR
deprofile	Whether deprofiling should take place, and what method should be used (cf. deprofile)
trace	Either "ms2tic" or "ms2basepeak": Which intensity trace to use - can be either the TIC of the MS2 or the basepeak intensity of the MS2.

Details

Note that this is not a precise function and only really makes sense in direct infusion and if the precursor is really known, because MS2 precursor data is only "roughly" accurate (to 2 dp). The regular findMsMsHR functions confirm the exact mass of the precursor in the MS1 scan.

Value

a list of "spectrum sets" as defined in findMsMsHR, sorted by decreasing precursor intensity.
