The new Ribopeaks (RPK-II): Updated and enlarged tool for bacterial classification based on r-protein m/z data.

Ribopeaks is a rapid, sensitive, and economic web tool for bacterial identification based on m/z data from MALDI-TOF MS. To provide greater accuracy and robustness in the Ribopeaks analyzes we present an updated bacterial identification tool version, called Ribopeaks II (RPK-II). RPK-II contains a larger database, with r-protein data from fully sequenced bacterial genomes and optimized algorithms.
