Abstract

We wish to: (i) establish a formal consortium for biomolecular simulations within the UK, building on existing arrangements to increase collaboration and foster collective efforts via workshops, and via a flag-ship project based on distributed, shared data structures; (ii) establish a biomolecular simulation database; (iii) exploit the GRID so that the database will exist in a distributed form but can be curated and interrogated centrally; and (iv) develop software tools for interrogation and data-mining across the entire distributed database. We thus aim both to stretch the envelope by enabling data-mining across all simulations in the database, and also to democratise simulation data by providing relevant metadata and linking this to structural biology and genomics data, thus facilitating access to simulation results by non-specialists.
