Welcome to the Spectrum Library Central, hosted at PeptideAtlas.
We provide a list and links to Spectrum Libraries built specifically for
spectrum library searching of tandem mass-spec data.
Spectral Library Search Projects
Spectral library searching, unlike sequence database searches,
involve finding the best match of an acquired MS/MS spectrum to
a library of pre-searched spectra for which the sequences have been
determined. This approach can be hundreds of times faster
than traditional searching, with comparable or better accuracy.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
distributes an updated version of their
NIST MS Search Program for Windows,
which includes the ability to perform Peptide searches via spectrum matching.
The NIST Peptide Library Search Engine is also available from the
NIST download section below.

The Global Proteome Database builds consensus Annotated Spectral Libraries (ASL) for several organisms (human, yeast, mouse, dog, cow, etc), for use with the X!Hunter application, and are available for download via ftp. Please note that these libraries are not suitable to be used with SpectraST.
Libraries can be built using the BlibBuild program that is part of the software distribution. Pre-built reference libraries should be available for download from this link.
* To make sure that you have a complete and uncorrupted download, please verify that the
md5 checksum of each downloaded file matches the posted value on this website. (On most Unix-type
systems, you can use the md5sum utility: md5sum filename).
