MOWSE (for Molecular Weight Search) is a method to identify proteins from the molecular weight of peptides created by proteolytic digestion and measured with mass spectrometry.{{cite journal |vauthors=Pappin DJ, Hojrup P, Bleasby AJ |title=Rapid identification of proteins by peptide-mass fingerprinting |journal=Curr. Biol. |volume=3 |issue=6 |pages=327–32 |date=June 1993 |pmid=15335725 |doi= 10.1016/0960-9822(93)90195-T|s2cid=40203243 }}
Development
The MOWSE algorithm was developed by Darryl Pappin at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and Alan Bleasby at the SERC Daresbury Laboratory.{{cite web |title=A history of Mascot and Mowse |url=http://www.matrixscience.com/help/history.html |website=www.matrixscience.com |language=en}} The probability-based MOWSE score formed the basis of development of Mascot, a proprietary software for protein identification from mass spectrometry data.
