Introduction

The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to define community standards for data representation in proteomics to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. For detailed information on all PSI activities, please see http://psidev.sf.net. The protein modification workgroup focuses on developing a concensus nomenclature and provide an ontology reconciling in a hierarchical representation the complementary descriptions of residue modifications.

Available data

The protein modification ontology (PSI-MOD) is available in OBO format or in OBO.xml. The consenus list of proposed short name for protein modifications, establihed by collaborative effort of mass spectrometry community and  the rules of this nomenclature are available here. These short names are also included in the ontology as synonyms of the appropriate terms.
