Abstract
The plan is to (i) prototype high throughput biomolecular simulations to exploit the results of structural genomics; and (ii) generate a database of simulations of bacterial outer membrane proteins (OMPs). This work will exploit developments in GRID technology in Oxford. The initial focus will be on bacterial OMPs because a reasonably large number of high resolution structures are available, covering a diverse range of functions (pores, transporters, enzymes, recognition proteins). Deliverables will be: (i) biosimulation database entries for an entire class of membrane proteins; (ii) robust protocols for high throughput simulation. Comparative analyses will focus on e.g. membrane protein dynamics vs. environment. The database of OMP simulations will aid the development of novel antibiotics targeted against these proteins. Furthermore, this database will constitute a first step towards a virtual outer membrane.
