Dear D@H Volunteers,

We are ready to submit new docking simulations with a new computation model (i.e., algorithm for the simulation of the docking process). This time we have improved the way we represent the effect of the solvent in the docking process. We know that ligands and proteins interact immersed in a solvent (water) and the solvent can affect the docking process.

This new model should be more accurate because the solvent representation and its effect on the docking process are more accurately represented. Unfortunately the model is also more time demanding. So for example, given a job comprising a protein and a ligand, in preliminary tests 40 docking attempts take approximately:

- 2.3 to 2.6 hrs - GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core 2 Extreme CPU Q6800 @ 2.93GHz

- 3.0 to 3.5 hrs - GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core 2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz

- 7.0 to 7.2 hrs - GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium 4 CPU @ 3.00GHz

We tested the model extensively in the past two weeks but, as usual, testing is never enough. Please help us to tune the new model and address any issue. The distribution will start next week.

Thanks,

Michela

The jobs will have the tag "mod0014" in the name. We will also post further news before to start distributing.
