Title
Parallel strategies for an inverse docking method
Abstract
Molecular docking is a widely used computational technique that allows studying structure-based interactions complexes between biological objects at the molecular scale. The purpose of the current work is to develop a set of tools that allows performing inverse docking, i.e., to test at a large scale a chemical ligand on a large dataset of proteins, which has several applications on the field of drug research. We developed different strategies to parallelize/distribute the docking procedure, as a way to efficiently exploit the computational performance of multi-core and multi-machine (cluster) environments. The experiments conducted to compare these different strategies encourage the search for decomposing strategies as a way to improve the execution of inverse docking.
