OpenMolGRID is a pioneering project under the EU's 5th Framework Programme (2002-2004) focused on enhancing molecular science and engineering through grid computing. Coordinated by the University of Tartu, the project unites several partners, including the University of Ulster and Forschungszentrum Jülich, to create large-scale databases and perform extensive molecular calculations. With work packages dedicated to data warehousing, molecular descriptor generation, and application testing, OpenMolGRID aims to revolutionize molecular design and synthesis, enabling the development of novel compounds and materials.

Molecular Engineering Molecular engineering = rational design and targeted synthesis of • new molecules • new materials • new chemical reactions • new technological processes OpenMolGRID
Why Grid ? • Large, geographically distributed databases • on molecular properties • Large number of molecular calculations • (>> 106 molecules in a single design task) • Large number of temporary data • (>>106×103 descriptors, geographically • distributed) OpenMolGRID
OpenMolGRID Work Packages WP1: Grid Data Warehousing of Molecular Structure-Property (Activity) Relationship Information WP2: Molecular Descriptor Generation and QSPR Model Building on the Grid WP3: Computational Molecular Engineering of New Compounds and Materials WP4: Grid Integration WP5: Test Application of the OpenMolGRID System for Chemical and Pharmaceutical Predictions OpenMolGRID
OpenMolGRID targeted results • GRID middleware for management of large, geographically distributed • chemical and biomedical databases within the UNICORE frame • GRID middleware for carrying out large molecular calculations for • molecular design within the UNICORE frame • Development of toxicity prediction model and validation with • the world largest experimental set (30,000 new compounds) • Chemical synthesis of 30,000 molecularstructures and testing their • biomedical properties • Development of several hundreds of new anti-cancer hit molecules OpenMolGRID
