  1. CID Collision-induced dissociation, FASP Filter-aided sample preparation, FM fragmentation mode, HCD Higher energy collisional dissociation, ISD In solution digestion, LC Liquid chromatography, PT Pretreatment. All instruments were Orbitrap mass spectrometers from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
  2. aThe original study (and related dataset) reported data from 15 subjects; further 5 subjects from the same cohort had been analyzed following the same protocol and their data have been included in this study (raw MS files have been deposited in ProteomeXchange along with those of datasets D08 and D09).
