Currently Structural Analysis Algorithims called docking simulations, are used to find enzyme inhibitors for drug therapies. Theoretically, strutural analysis could assist scientists in identifying

efficient biological catalysts. Using distributed computing, we hope to develop effective ways to identify enzymes with specific catalytic functions. Among these functions, we hope to identify that catalyze a water to hydrogen reaction driven by light.
Currently we only know of two types of analysis tools that provide plausible avenues: Rigid and Flexible docking algorithms. We are open to suggestions with respect to other structural analysis methods.
This project will scale to distributed computing by implementing the BOINC platform, thus allowing project participants to participate on their home PCs.
