De Novo Structure-Based Molecular Design


EMSL Project ID
16305

Abstract

This project involves the use of the MSCF supercomputer to develop and run de novo structure-based HostDesigner software on a parallel architecture. Tasks involve (1) completing the testing of an exisiting beta version of a parallel HostDesigner code and (2) application of this code to search for improved molecular receptors for cation and anion binding. Envisioned applications will require substantial computer time (e.g., one run may can take up to 24 hrs on 32 processors). Thus, we are requesting access to the EMSL supercomputer. This access will support two existing projects funded under the Office of Science, US DOE.
