  1. M1 and M2 use only monoisotopic ion masses, hence cannot be compared with M0 using individual ion masses. The selected ions are statistically significant in Exp.1 vs. Exp.3, Exp.1 vs. Exp.4, Exp.2 vs. Exp. 3, or Exp.2 vs. Exp.4 pair-wise comparisons in Dataset 2. The numbers in parentheses show the corresponding putative identifications.
