Results
The research I have done in the laboratory has, so far, yielded two papers published[1][2] and four Web Servers:
- FastContact Server: a free energy scoring tool for protein-protein complex structures.
- Version 1.0: Programmer, Server architect, and administrator; July 2005–December 2006.
- Version 2.0: Programmer, Server architect, and administrator; January 2007-present.
- SmoothDock Server (currently under development):
- Programmer, Server architect, and administrator; January 2005–present (note: This server uses code optimised and run in parallel on 256 processors).
- LooseLoops Server (currently under development and construction):
- Programmer, Server architect, and administrator; November 2004–present.
- Server architect and administrator; September 2004–present.
CAPRI
I was a participant of "Round 6" (17-Jan-2005) and "Round 7" (29-May-2005) of CAPRI. Our group presented the "SmoothDock Server".
Benchmarks
