DeutEx - Software for interpretation of HDX-MS data will be available here.

The software is free to use, however is distributed upon signing of Software Transfer Agreement. The download is password protected. For access please contact Petr Man. If you are using these tools for your research please consider to cite our work.

Other HDX-MS related tools for data processing and visualization are below.
Digestion_metrics - Microsoft Excel macro calculating simple digestion metrics (coverage, average peptide length, redundancy, etc.) Modified supplementary file to publication Kadek A et al Anal Chem. 2014, 86(9):4287-94.
HDXPeptideSplitter - Python script for preporcesing of HDX-MS results before using them in PyMol. Processed data are then used by data2bfactor Pymol script written by Robert L. Campbell. This version works with Python version 2.x. For version 3.x and higher use this modified data2bfactor script.

Here you can find various 3D printed things, mostly generated by Dan Kavan. Fell free to use them! We will always provide FreeCAD files together with *.stl and some basic comments.

Our passion in 3D printing is strongly supported by a collaboration with the TRILAB company.
