Comprehensive package for data analysis of dipolar EPR spectroscopy
Project description
About
DeerLab is a Python package for the analysis of dipolar EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopy data. Dipolar EPR spectroscopy techniques include DEER (double electron-electron resonance), RIDME (relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement), and others. The documentation can be found here.
DeerLab consists of a collection of functions for modelling, data processing, and least-squares fitting. They can be combined in scripts to build custom data analysis workflows. DeerLab supports both classes of distance distribution models: non-parametric (Tikhonov regularization and related) and parametric (multi-Gaussians etc). It also provides a selection of background and experiment models.
The early versions of DeerLab (up to version 0.9) are written in MATLAB. The old MATLAB codebase is archived and can be found here.
Requirements
DeerLab is available for Windows, Mac and Linux systems and requires Python 3.6, 3.7, or 3.8.
All additional dependencies are automatically downloaded and installed during the setup.
Setup
A pre-built distribution can be installed using pip
.
First, ensure that pip
is up-to-date. From a terminal (preferably with administrative privileges) use the following command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Next, install DeerLab with
python -m pip install deerlab
More details on the installation of DeerLab can be found here.
