Grid Enabled High Throughput Virtual Screening Against Four Different Targets Implicated in Malaria Presented by Vinod Kasam CLADE workshop, HPDC conference, June 25, 2007, Monterey Bay
Outline • Wisdom introduction • Biological targets • Resources used in wisdom • Production environment • Results • Issues • Conclusions 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Introduction to the disease : malaria • ~300 million people worldwide are affected • 1-1.5 million people die every year • Widely spread • Caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium Complex life cycle with multiple stages 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
WISDOM-II, second large scale docking deployment against malaria Involved in Malaria target Biology partners GST from Plasmodiumfalciparum Parasite detoxification U. of Pretoria, South-Africa DHFR from Plasmodiumvivax Parasite DNA synthesis U. of Los Andes, Venezuela U. of Modena, Italia DHFR from Plasmodium falciparum Parasite DNA synthesis U. of Modena, Italia Tubulin from Plasmodium/plant/mamal Parasite cell replication CEA, Acamba project, France 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
WISDOM : Wide In Silico Docking On Malaria • Biological goal Proposition of new inhibitors for a family of proteins produced by Plasmodium • Biomedical informatics goalDeployment of in silico virtual docking on the grid • Grid goal Deployment of a CPU consuming application generating large data flows to test the grid operation and services => “data challenge” 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
High Throughput Virtual Docking Compounds: ZINC- 4,3M Chembridge - 500 000 Millions of chemical compounds available High Throughput Screening 1-10$/compound, several hours Molecular docking (FlexX, Autodock) 20 cents/compound, 1 minute Data challenge on EGEE ~ 3 months on ~2000 computers Hits screening using assays performed on living cells Leads Targets: 3D structures in PDB One homology model Clinical testing Drug 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Objective of the WISDOM development • Objective • Dock a whole compound database in a limited time with a minimal human involvement during the data challenge. • Need an optimized environment • Production in Limited time • Performance are important • Need a fault tolerant environment • Stress usage of the grid during the DC • Grid is heterogeneous and dynamic • Data produced are important and can’t be easily reproduced • Need an automatic production environment • Grid API are not fully adapted for a bulk use at a large scale • Ease the execution • User-friendly hi-level services 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Use of a production system • Managing thousands of jobs and files is a manually labor-intensive task • Job preparation, submission and monitoring, output retrieval, failure identification and resolution, job resubmission… • In order to efficiently use the resources • The amount of transferred data impacts on grid performance • The data must be installed on the grid • The database is stored into subsets • Grid process introduces significant delays • The submitted jobs must be sufficiently long in order to reduce the impact of this middleware overhead • The production system will provide automated and fault-tolerant jobs and files management 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Grid added value for international collaboration on neglected and emerging diseases • Grids offer unprecedented opportunities for sharing information and resources world wide • Grids are unique tools for : • Collecting and sharing information (Epidemiology, Genomics) • Networking experts • Mobilizing resources routinely or in emergency (vaccine & drug discovery) 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Grid added value of EGEE for a large scale in silico experimentation • Large computing and storage resources • 24 hours a day availability of resources, user support • Workload Management Service • Information and Monitoring Services • Data Management Services • Security • Reliability of services 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay

Instances on different infrastructures Instances deployed on the different infrastructures during the WISDOM-II data challenge 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Deployment on different infrastrucures • Up to 5000 computers in more than17 countries mobilized from october 2006 – Jan 2007 to provide CPU • 1.738 TB of data produced Distribution of jobs 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Statistics of deployment • First DC: • 80 CPU years • 1 TB • 1700 CPUs used in parallel • July 1st - August 15th 2005 • 2nd DC • 100 CPU years • 800 GB • 1700 CPUs used used in parallel • May 1st -April 15th 2006 • 3rd DC • 413 CPU years • 1.7 TB • Up to 5000 CPUs in parallel • 1st October 2006 - 31 January 2007 The crunching factor is the ratio of the total CPU time over the duration of the experiment. It represents the average number of CPUs used simultaneously all along the data challenge and is a metric of the parallelization gain. 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Biological results The repartition of docking energies of the ZINC database against GST A structure. (The red column represents a score of -24kj/Mol, the docking score of a co-crystallized ligand (GTX) of GST A chain) 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Issues • Scheduling efficiency of the grid is still a major issue • The resource broker is still the main bottleneck • This deployment also shows that it is not possible to do a naive blacklisting of the failing resources, for the simple fact that virtually all the grid resources have produced aborted jobs, and this blacklisting should also take care of the site scheduled downtimes. • Store and treat the data in a relational database 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Interactive Web Portal • User Friendly Interface for biologists • Real Time output of the results • 3D views of the docking poses and structures • Resubmission of docking jobs 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
Conclusion • Take advantage of the EGEE services, APIs and resources. • Demonstrated the relevance of computational grids in life science applications • Manual intervention is reduced (automatic resubmission of jobs) • Use of AMGA to store results and statistics immediately. • Interoperable Web Service Interface WSDL following the WS-I profile • Improved flexibility to deploy other bioinformatics applications. 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
The next steps • To address the issue of resource brokers, we are trying to submit the jobs by bypassing resource brokers • Docking step still requires a lot of manual intervention • Task: improve output data collection and post-docking analysis • The next step after docking is Molecular Dynamics • Task: deploy Molecular Dynamics computations on grid infrastructures (successfully deployed already on one target, plasmepsin) • Contribution from CNRS-IN2P3, within the framework of BioinfoGRID, Fraunhofer SCAI and University of Modena • Beyond virtual screening, the long term vision: building a grid for malaria • To provide services to research labs working on malaria • To collect and analyze epidemiological data 25-06-2007, Monterey Bay
