From Raw Data to Intuitive Insights: Automated HDX MS Visualization at Every Level

Fully automated visualization tools that transform HDX-MS results into clear, interpretable figures with integrated statistical filtering:

  • Coverage maps
  • Rainbow or differential heat maps
  • Butterfly or Woods plots
  • Direct integration with PyMol for 3D structure coloring
Coverage map of apo-myoglobin visualized within DeutEx. For rapid assessment of peptide coverage across the protein sequence.
 
Butterfly plot of holo- and apo-myoglobin generated by DeutEx. For intuitive comparison of deuterium uptake across experiments.

DeutEx supports your HDX workflows

DeutEx empowers research in:

  • Drug Design & Development: Identify binding sites and optimize drug candidates
  • Biopharmaceuticals: Ensure stability and efficacy of therapeutic antibodies
  • Structural Biology: Complement X-ray, cryo-EM, and NMR studies
  • Disease Research: Investigate protein mechanisms and therapeutic targets
3D structure coloring based on rainbow heatmap (apo-Mb) and differential heatmap (holo- versus apo-Mb). To highlight structural dynamics and condition-dependent changes.

"DeutEx has been a very intuitive software to use. The data processing workflow is easy to understand and any changes to the settings or data used for the calculations (e.g. adjusting isotopic distribution or retention time range) are reprocessed very quickly."

Liliana Pedro, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Orion Pharma, Espoo, Finland

"We like it that besides the deuterium uptake plots, we can also visualize envelop widths and peptide log intensities across the different time points, making it easier to control for outliers and errors." 

Kai Sinervo, Senior Research Scientist, Orion Pharma, Espoo, Finland
