DrugDiscovery@Home - distributed computing project which uses the power of personal computers distributed worldwide. The computing time is kindly provided by volunteers worldwide which want to make their impact into discovery of new drugs in the fields of cancer and stem cells biology.
Our primary research interest is the development of new therapies for cancer and gerontology. Our project is powered by an online community of volunteers who donate their computing power to help model drug interactions. When our project is ready, anyone can participate by registering and downloading software to automatically perform analysis.
Our project uses the Berkely Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC), one of the dominant solutions for running volunteer computing projects. As applications we use now Autodock4.2 virtual screening software, coupled to GROMACs molecular dynamics software. These applications are used for refinement of 3D structures for offline modelled biotargets and in silico structure based drug design. Main innovation of the project is the use of high-performance molecular dynamics for structure based drug design.
