GNU polyxmass is mass spectrometric software suite for (bio)-polymers.

GNU polyxmass features an integrated mass spectrometry framework where users are able to define brand new polymer chemistries (within the polyxdef module), and use these definitions in order to make simple mass calculations (within the polyxcalc module) or perform complex simulations of polymer chemistry with related mass data computations (within the polyxedit module).

The framework allows full customization of every aspect of the polymer chemistry being defined, and of the way the polymer sequences are graphically displayed. This program was formerly called "polyXmass".

Requirements:
The program depends on the libxml2 library, and on the glib2/gdk2/gtk+2/ trilogy.
The graphical rendering of the polymer sequences is performed using librsvg2 and libgnomecanvas.

What's New in This Release:
Removed the dependency on libpolyxmass (its code was integrated in polyxmass-bin) ; added a function to insert a sequence from a raw text file, with automatic detection of non-code characters and ability to correct the errors.

This code compiles fine under MS-Windows, but the binary still has problems on some machines (even of the same OS version, interestingly).
