NAME

Finnigan::Reaction -- a decoder for Reaction, the container for precursor mass and fragmentation energy

SYNOPSIS

use Finnigan;
my $r = Finnigan::Reaction->decode(\*INPUT);
say $r->precursor;
say $r->enengy;

DESCRIPTION

This object contains a couple of double-precision floating point numbers that define the precursor ion M/z and the energy of the fragmentation reaction.

There are other elements that currently remain unknown: a double (set to 1.0 in all observations) and a couple longs.

METHODS
