# An enzyme string code is used to define amino acid cut sites when parsing
# protein sequences. Following the code, a separate label can be used to name
# the enzyme used. The rules for peptide parsing are similar to other database
# search engines such as X!Tandem: 1) cleavage amino acids are specified in
# square braces: [], 2) a vertical line, |, indicates N- or C-terminal to the
# residue, 3) exception amino acids are specified in curly braces: {}.

# Determines the accuracy of the scoring algorithm with smaller bins being more
# strict in determining matches between theoretical and observed spectral peaks.
# Low-resolution spectra require larger bin sizes to accommodate errors in mass
# accuracy of the observed peaks. Smaller bins also require more system memory,
# so caution must be exercised when setting this value for high-resolution
# spectra. For ion trap (low-res) MS/MS spectra, the recommended values is
# 1.0005. For high-res MS/MS, the recommended value is 0.03.

# This parameter requires two values. The first value is a short, case-sensitive
# string of characters that appears in the name of every decoy protein sequence
# in the database. The second value is either 0 or 1, where 0 indicates that
# these decoy sequences are already provided in the FASTA database supplied by
# the user, and 1 indicates Kojak should automatically generate the decoy
# sequences and preface the protein names with the characters supplied in the
# first value. If Kojak is requested to generate decoy sequences, it will save
# the full complement of target and decoy sequences as a fasta file in the
# output directory at the end of analysis. Kojak generates decoy sequences by
# reversing the amino acids between enzymatic cleavage sites in the protein
# sequence. The sites of enzymatic cleavage are determined by the rules supplied
# with the <code>kojak_enzyme</code> parameter. The leading methionine in the
# sequences, however, remains fixed. This approach ensures that, with very few
# exceptions, the number, length, and mass of the decoy peptides are identical
# to the target peptides.

# Some data files may filter out precursor scans to save space prior to

# For some data (such as Thermo Orbitrap data), the MS/MS spectra may have a
# precursor mass prediction already. With this parameter, the Kojak algorithm
# can be set to either ignore, use, or supplement the predicted precursor
# information. There are three options for the parameter: 0 = Ignore all
# precursor mass predictions and have Kojak make new predictions using its
# precursor processing algorithms. 1 = Use the existing precursor mass
# predictions and skip further processing with Kojak. 2 = Use the existing
# precursor mass predictions and supplement these values with additional results
# of the Kojak precursor processing algorithms. The recommended value is 2.
# Supplementing the precursor values performs the following functions. First,
# the monoisotopic precursor mass may be refined to one determined from a point
# near the apex of the extracted ion chromatogram, with potentially better mass
# accuracy. Second, in cases where the monoisotopic peak mass might not have
# been predicted correctly in the original analysis, a second monoisotopic mass
# is appended to the spectrum, allowing database searching to proceed checking
# both possibilities. Third, in cases where there is obvious chimeric signal
# overlap, a spectrum will be supplemented with the potential monoisotopic peak
# masses of all presumed precursor ions. Regardless of this parameter setting,
# MS/MS spectra that do not have an existing precursor mass prediction will be
# analyzed to identify the monoisotopic precursor mass using functions built
# into Kojak.

# This parameter specifies the number of top scoring peptides to store in the
