pyMS-Vis, an Open-Source Python Application for Visualizing and Investigating Deconvoluted Top-Down Mass Spectrometric Experiments: A Histone Proteoform Case Study

We report the development of an open-source Python application that provides quantitative and qualitative information from deconvoluted liquid-chromatography top-down mass spectrometry (LC-TDMS) data sets. This simple-to-use program allows users to search masses-of-interest across multiple LC-TDMS runs and provides visualization of their ion intensities and elution characteristics while quantifying their abundances relative to one another. Focusing on proteoform-rich histone proteins from the green microalga
