The big alliance of the global grid raises speed cancer is studied
It is reported recently, IBM announces the great alliance's helping hand of the global grid " conquers cancer " The project makes the great breakthrough, the scientist can realize automation to the complicated manual procedure of before through the computing system, discern the protein structure related to cancer with higher speed, find out and cure the best scheme of cancer.

It is reported, the big alliance of the global grid " conquers cancer " The project aims at setting up a computing system, is used for discerning protein sample of solidification accurately, realize the X-ray examination of sample, structure, shape and function each other of helping the scientist further explore some proteins initiating cancer. Through improving protein X ray crystallography, researchers can confirm the structure of many kinds of proteins correlated to cancer faster.

In the past, people can not all carry on the artificial inspection to 9216 pictures of some designated protein. Even if someone attempts to check the picture at the speed of a picture per second, it takes 1333 days too after checking the pictures of all 12500 proteins.

Now, through the big alliance of the global grid, 1,500,000 computer user's wishes in the world contribute surplus computing capability, participate in data processing. Rely on strong calculation handling capacity, under the new system, the scientists can succeed in discerning 80% limpid protein solution drop with picture and have 98% before crystallization of the crystal. Compared with the situation that checked artificially, it, to 6 times that picture quantity which proteins checks can reach the former for each one, but time is shortened greatly. (Muzi)
