eNMR: Web-enabled life-science applications on EGEE

Members of the structural biology community find it challenging to install, maintain and operate dozens of softwares themselves. The e-NMR collaborative EGEE project involves partners from the Universities of Utrecht, Frankfurt, Padova and Florence, and EBI-EMBL that aim at minimizing the complexities for users, and making the process more effective by integrating software into one easily accessible platform. Conventionally users submit jobs to the GRID via the gLite middleware. Recently, users showed preference to use a web-browser interface. We are developing these technologies for life science applications in the field of biomolecular NMR in order to provide a uniform web-interface (portals) for a wide range of applications in NMR signal assignment, protein and DNA/RNA structure calculation, molecular docking etc. The e-NMR infrastructure is operational and integrated into EGEE. At the conference we will present demos/posters of the project and the first implemented e-NMR portals.
