EDGeS Application Example Protein Molecule Simulation using AutoDock Users and Use Cases • Department of Molecular & Applied Biosciencesat UoW • Potentially large bioscience community using AutoDock • Extends a larger application scenario currently being investigated within the JISC ENGAGEProSim project.
EDGeS Application Example Protein Molecule Simulation using AutoDock • AutoDock: • a suite of automated docking tools • designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure • one run of AutoDock finishes in a reasonable time on a single PC. However, thousands of scenarios have to be simulated and analysed to get stable and meaningful results. • AutoDock has to be run multiple times with the same input files but with random factors • Simulations runs are independent from each other – suitable for DG
