CADD Video

Video highlighting the Computer Aided Drug Discovery Pipeline is now available on YouTube and is viewable from the CADD page. CADD Pipeline is a workflow environment designed to support molecular dyanmics simulations and virtual screening experiments for in silico drug discovery, with a special focus on supporting the use of the Relaxed Complex Scheme.

Advanced GPU-accelerated software

Researchers enable unprecedented sampling using desktop computers with OTS upgrade: Using just an upgraded desktop computer equipped with a relatively inexpensive graphics processing card, a team of computer scientists and biochemists at the University of California, San Diego, has developed advanced GPU accelerated software and demonstrated for the first time that this approach can sample biological events that occur on the millisecond timescale.

Attacking Chagas Disease

Projects in Scientific Computing publishes an article describing Studies with Anton, a special-purpose supercomputer designed by D. E. Shaw Research and made available at PSC, that have yielded new insights into the motion and function of proteins. One of the studies, Attacking Chagas Disease, was lead by Andrew McCammon and post-doctoral fellows César de Oliveira, Barry Grant and Riccardo Baron. They used Anton to simulate an enzyme from the Chagas parasite — T. cruzi proline racemase (TcPR). Read articles in Protein Research Leaps Forward.
