A thorough analysis of the protein interaction partners of the yeast GTPase Gsp1p was carried out by a multidimensional chromatography strategy of strong cation exchange fractionation of peptides followed by reverse phase LC-ESI-MSMS using a QSTAR instrument. This dataset was then analyzed using the latest developmental version of Protein Prospector. The Prospector search results were also compared with results from the search engine "Mascot" using a new results comparison program within Prospector named "SearchCompare." The results from this study demonstrate that the high quality data produced on a quadrupole selecting, quadrupole collision cell, time-of-flight (QqTOF) geometry instrument allows for confident assignment of the vast majority of interpretable spectra by current search engines.
