mass2chem - low level utilities in interpreting mass spectrometry data

This package provides

  • functions on handling chemical formulas
  • formula based adduct calculation
  • indexing and search functions on mass spec data
  • libraries of common metabolites, contaminants, mass differences
  • [to-do] functions of chemical similary, dataset similarity

Pychemy (https://github.com/ginkgobioworks/pychemy). Pychemy at this time isn't good fit for high-resolution metabolomics because its mass calculation is not of enough precision. E.g. in pychemy.adducts, it's wrong to use ('M+3H', 0.33, 1.0073), because the computing/rounding error in 0.33 (correct is 1/3) is far too large for mass precision. For high-resolution measurements, electrons should be considered too.
