Ultimate Goal:
Reduce the time and cost of discovering novel drugs
1. Virtual Molecular Dockinga) Novel Drug Discoveryb) Virtual high-throughput screenings (VHTS)
2. Cloud Computinga) Advantages for VHTSb) Kandinskyc) Hadoop (MapReduce)
3. AutoDockClouda) Current Implementationb) Future Implementations
Virtual Molecular Docking
Given a receptor (protein) and ligand (small molecule), predict
1. Bound conformations• Search algorithm to explore conformational space
2. Binding affinity• Force field to evaluate energetics

Virtual High-Throughput Screening (VHTS)
VHTS with Autodock4
Potential advantages of Cloud Computing for VHTS
• Affordable access to compute resources (especially for small labs and classrooms).
• Easy to use interface accessible through web for non-computer experts. Software maintained by experts.
• Scalable resources for size of screening.
KandinskyPrivate Cloud Platform at ORNL
Kandinsky, the Systems Biology Knowledgebase Computer, Sponsored by the Office of
Biological and Environmental Research in the DOE Office of Science
68 nodes X 16 cores/node = 1088 cores 20 Gbps Infiniband Interconnect
Designed to support Hadoop applications and gain an understanding of the MapReduce paradigm.
•57 nodes for MapReduce tasks • 1 tasktracker per node •10 map and 6 reduce tasks per node (16 tasks per node) •570 map tasks and 342 reduce tasks can run simultaneously on Kandinsky
Hadoop
• Scalable• Economical• Efficient• Reliable

Current AutoDockCloud Implementation
input=file names needed for each docking
map(input){
copy input to local working directory;run AutoDock4 locally;copy result file to HDFS;
}
*pre-docking set-up and post-docking analysis is currently done manually*no reduce function is currently being used

Percent of ranked database
Future AutoDockCloud Implementationinput=ligand file from chemical compound database
map(input){
create pdbqt (AutoDock input file) from input;run AutoDock4 locally;find best scoring ligand structure;save structure to HDFS;return <score, ligand>;
}reduce(<score, ligand>){
sort; return ranked_database;}
*pre-docking and post-docking will be automated and distributed*less total I/O requirements
Future Plans
• Incorporate additional docking engines– Autodock Vina• Less I/O• More efficient and accurate algorithm• No charge information needed
• Deploy on Commercial Cloud (EC2)• Develop web interface
