NAME

       massXpert              —              Model linear polymers, simulate chemical reactions and predict mass
       spectrometric data

SYNOPSIS

       massxpert [options]  [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the massxpert software shipped within the msXpertSuite software suite.

       This program allows one to model linear polymer chemistries using a dedicated grammar. Once  the  polymer
       chemistry  of  interest is defined, the user is allowed to use it to define polymer sequence files. These
       files serve as the starting point for the simulation of a large  set  of  chemical  reactions  onto  that
       polymer sequence. This software is comprised of four main submodules:

          •  XpertDef: module to define brand new polymer chemistries;

          •  XpertCalc: module to perform any mass calculation taking advantage of defined polymer chemistries;

          •  XpertEdit:  module  to  edit polymer sequences of any specific polymer chemistry and to graphically
             perform a wide array of chemical reactions along with the corresponding mass spectrum simulations;

          •  XpertMiner: module to compare with maximum flexibility any number of mass-to-ratio (m/z) lists.

OPTIONS

Useful reading

       The  program is documented fully in the massXpert User Manual, that is packaged in msxpertsuite-doc. That
       manual is available in the form of a PDF-formatted file (/usr/share/doc/msxpertsuite/massxpert-doc.pdf).
