DynamXL

dxl_logoDynamXL provides a means to compare experimental cross-linking data against protein structural information.

DynamXL accounts for the flexible nature of both protein and cross-linker molecules by (1) predicting the accessible space of amino acid side chains, (2) aggregating measures from multiple protein conformations and (3) measuring distances with a powerful shortest path algorithm, Theta*. The software, developed in Python, can be controlled via a graphical user interface, via terminal, or directly imported into an external code.

DynamXL  has been developed by Matteo while in the Benesch group, at the University of Oxford.
