Mass spectrometry is used to sequence proteins and extract bio-markers of biological environments. These bio-markers can be used to diagnose thousands of diseases and optimize biological environments such as bio-gas plants. Indexing of the protein sequence data allows to streamline the experiments and speed up the analysis. In our work, we present a schema for distributed column-based database management systems using a column-oriented index to store sequence data. This leads to the problem, how to transform the protein sequence data from the standard format to the new schema. We analyze four different methods of transformation and evaluate those four different methods. The results show that our proposed extended radix tree has the best performance regarding memory consumption and calculation time. Hence, the radix tree is proved to be a suitable data structure for the transformation of protein sequences into the indexed schema.
