Crosslinking mass-spectrometry (XL-MS) has become a powerful structural biology application for protein structure determination and protein interaction mapping. With our analysis software pipeline XlinkX we bridge this highly specialized technique to non-expert laboratories worldwide on the easy-to-use and error tolerant Proteome Discoverer platform. Advancing insights into controlling FDR levels, filtering false positives, and connecting to the structural context require constant improvements. Here we present extensions to XlinkX/PD that result in low false positive rates and enabling easy export of the results for structure mapping.
