Pyteomics is a collection of lightweight and handy tools for Python that help to handle various sorts of proteomics data. Pyteomics provides a growing set of modules to facilitate the most common tasks in proteomics data analysis, such as: * calculation of basic physico-chemical properties of polypeptides: . mass and isotopic distribution . charge and pI . chromatographic retention time * access to common proteomics data: . MS or LC-MS data . FASTA databases . search engines output * easy manipulation of sequences of modified peptides and proteins WWW: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyteomics
