The development of a drug discovery virtual screening application on Taiwan Unigrid

This paper describes the development of an in silico virtual screening application on Taiwan Unigrid. In silico, virtual screening is one of the most promising approach to accelerate the drug development process. This pilot application implementation demonstrates the power of grid, which provides reliable service via shared computing resources. This development illustrates not only a new collaboration pattern to challenge difficult research topics, but also a promising perspective for developing future grid infrastructure.
