FlavonoidSearch system

FlavonoidSearch is a system for flavonoid annotation using mass spectral data retrieved from tandem mass (MS/MS) or multi-stage mass analysis (MSⁿ) of mass spectrometers. The system consists of a probable mass fragment database constructed manually for known flavonoids (FsDatabase)and a command line tool (FsTool) to search the database.

Data

Binary raw data, peak list, and MSn data acquired in the paper are available here.

FsTool

This is a tool to search flavonoid aglycones in FsDatabase match to the query spectra. FsTool can be used both as an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) tool and a command line tool for high-throughput calculations on servers.

Computer Requirements

Java Runtime Environment (1.6.0 or newer, Oracle Corporation) is required in your PC. See Oracle's website for installation of Java.

We tested the tool using following PCs:
Windows 10, MacOSX, CentOS 7.2 Linux
