DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The OpenMolGRID project will address large-scale molecular design problems. The molecular design in a large is essentially based on warehousing and data mining. Data warehousing techniques are needed to collect relevant data from distributed and heterogeneous databases. Data mining techniques (MLR, PCA, PLS, ANN, etc) are used to build predictive QSPR/QSAR models. The Grid approach is vitally essential, since the amount of data is huge and model building is computationally very demanding. The first step to address these issues is to use EUROGRID infrastructure for adaption of existing software modules, and to make solid foundation for next step molecular engineering tools. This involves the design of seamless and unified user interface and providing adapters to make software grid-aware. The second step is to use OpenMolGRID system to develop prototype application for generation molecular structures with given chemical properties or biological activities. Thirdly, the OpenMolGRID will involve intensive testing of developed system by academic and industrial users on real application (multi-drug resistance, GPCR activity, toxicity).
