Software Speeds Up Drug Development

Researchers develop novel method to predict the morphology of sugar coats on clinically relevant proteins within minutes. GlycoSHIELD, a new computational approach to study the sugar shields of proteins, is resource-reducing, time-efficient and user-friendly. It was developed in the frame of the Max Planck Society's Dioscuri Programme in a Polish-German cooperation project through international collaborations with researchers in France, Taiwan and Germany, including the MPCDF. where the interactive web-application has been developed and hosted. The study  was recently published in Cell. more

CO<sub>2</sub> footprint of MPCDF

CO2 footprint of MPCDF

July 27, 2022

Since more and more institutes request their CO2 footprint generated while using MPCDF computing resources, MPCDF now provides a webpage which documents the total power consumption of MPCDF, together with the fraction used by the central HPC systems (Raven and Cobra) and the associated CO2 generation as communicated by the electricity provider. In addition, the electricty mix of nuclear, fossile, and “green” sources is documented. more
