- Results from a two-sample t-test between topological overlap (TO) of peptides derived from the same protein versus peptides selected at random. This result statistically shows that the connectivity for a protein’s constituent peptides is far from random. Network topology may be useful for resolving cases of degenerate peptide mapping, increasing confidence in protein identification.
