Abstract
Peak picking algorithms in mass spectrometry face the challenge of picking the correct signals from a mass spectrum. In some cases signal wiggles (side lobes) are also chosen in the produced mass list as if they were real signals. Constraints which are defined in such algorithms do not always guarantee wiggle-free accurate mass list generation out of raw mass spectra. This problem intensifies with acquisitions, which are accompanied by longer transients. Thus, the problem represents a contemporary issue, which propagates with modern high-memory digitizers and exists in both MS and MS/MS spectra.
