EFFICIENCY AND PERSPECTIVES OF HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING IN GRID – CSLabGrid EXPERIENCE IN EFFECTIVE SEARCHING FOR NEW BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS

Abstract:
The article provides a brief historical review of grid computing and its current state in Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to biological and biomedical segments of Ukrainian National Grid. Brief information on officially registered medical and biological virtual organizations (VO) and their specialization is presented. Based on experience of VO CSLabGrid, the main economic benefits from grid-computing implementation and their economical potential are analyzed. Economic impact is revealed for two CSLabGrid projects unifying grid-computing and protocols of virtual High-Throughput Screening for new antibacterial and antimitotic agents.
Keywords: grid, Ukrainian National Grid, CSLabGrid, economic benefit, high-throughput screening, biologically active compounds.
