## SecA HDX-MS protein flexibility data


This is an example dataset of HDX-MS derived protein flexibility, expressed as Linderström-Lang Gibbs free energies (ΔG/ΔΔG).

The ΔG values obtained using PyHDX ([DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.1c02155](https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.analchem.1c02155))

There are three protein states, SecA monomer, SecA dimer and SecA with C-tail deletion, each state as apo (ΔG) and ADP-bound (ΔΔG)
