Abstract

Due to the involvement of effective and client-friendly components (i.e. supercomputers), rapid data analysis is being accomplished. In Bioinformatics, it is expanding many areas of research such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. Structure-based drug design is one of the major areas of research to cure human malady. This chapter initiates a discussion on supercomputing in sequence analysis with a detailed table summarizing the software and Web-based programs used for sequence analysis. A brief talk on the supercomputing in virtual screening is given where the databases like DOCK, ZINC, EDULISS, etc. are introduced. As the chapter transitions to the next phase, the intricacies of advanced Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship technologies like Fragment-Based 2D QSAR, Multiple-Field 3D QSAR, and Amino Acid-Based Peptide Prediction are put forth in a manner similar to the concept of abstraction. The supercomputing in docking studies is stressed where docking software for Protein-Ligand docking, Protein-Protein docking, and Multi-Protein docking are provided. The chapter ends with the applications of supercomputing in widely used microarray data analysis.
