Hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a method for studying protein structures, which can be analyzed at different levels. However, the available software packages for HDX-MS data analysis can only handle different levels separately and lack the ability to combine them. Therefore, we developed a new standalone application (HDfleX) that allows the merging and analysis of HDX-MS data at different levels.
Hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) experiments on protein structures can be performed at three levels: (1) by enzymatically digesting labeled proteins and analyzing the peptides (bottom-up), (2) by further fragmenting peptides following digestion (middle-down), and (3) by fragmenting the intact labeled protein (top-down) using soft gas-phase fragmentation methods, such as electron transfer dissociation (ETD). However, to the best of our knowledge, the software packages currently available for the analysis of HDX-MS data do not enable the peptide- and ETD-levels to be combined; they can only be analyzed separately. Thus, we developed HDfleX, a standalone application for the analysis of flexible high structural resolution of HDX-MS data, which allows data at any level of structural resolution (intact protein, peptide, fragment) to be merged. HDfleX features rapid experimental data fitting, robust statistical significance analyses, and optional methods for theoretical intrinsic calculations and a novel empirical correction for comparison between solution conditions.
