NAME

       massXpert2             —              Model linear polymers, simulate chemical reactions and predict mass
       spectrometric data

SYNOPSIS

       massxpert2 [options]  [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the massxpert2  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.

Useful reading

       The program is documented fully in the massXpert2 User Manual, that is packaged in  massxpert2-doc.  That
       manual is available in the form of a PDF-formatted file and of HTML files in (/usr/share/doc/massxpert2).
