Address for download: http://www.hairyfatguy.com/Sherpa/download.html
Program: Sherpa
is "A Macintosh-based Expert System for LC/MS & MS/MS Analysis"  Sherpa contains a useful peptide calculator and it is also useful for LC/MS analysis.  "Sherpa Lite"  is available for free it will do theoretical protein digests but will not search a sequence by mass.


Site Title: Bioanalytical Research Group, EMBL-Heidelberg
Author(s): Matthias Mann
Platform: Macintosh

Site Origin:
http://www.narrador.embl-heidelberg.de/GroupPages/Homepage.html
Address for download:  


Program: PeptideSearch.
Search a non-redundant protein database with a sequence tag, AA sequence, and peptide mass data.  The standalone program and database can be downloaded from EMBL Protein and Peptide group. You will need to obtain a password for use from Matthias Mann, but since Matthias left for the University of Southern Denmark you might try the current group leader Matthias Wilm first wilm@embl-heidelberg.de.  The last update on the EMBL ftp server was Sept. 1997. This program and Matthias helped me out when I arrived at a company with limited resources and no ms searchable database. Update: Peptide search is now a module called PepSea  available as part of a software package offered for sale at Protana. A current database can still be obtained at EMBL.
