BioInformatics and Computability
• Growth of data in GenBank is exponential and doesn't show signs of slowing down yet.– Source GenBank/NCBI
• Compute time to process data growing equivalently– Twice Moore's law
• Biologists don't have access to supercomputers for everyday work
• Grid computing gives Biologists more computing power affordably

Genomics and Proteomics 1
• Homology Searching– Searching for proteins with the same evolutionary "ancestor"– Smith-Waterman / Blast / FastA– Database against database searches (instead of single sequence
against database searches)– Allow groups of input sequences to search for homologous sequences to
all in the set• Mass Spec Data Interpretation
– Ionize peptides and fragment them inside mass spectrometer– Measure charge/mass ratio of peptide ions and fragments– Interpret resulting spectra

• Mass Spec Based Protein Identification – Conduct “In Silico” Digestion of protein database– Predict charge/mass ratio of all possible peptide ions resulting from
database– Search actual ions in spectra against predicted ions– Return identifications of proteins based on scoring match
Genomics and Proteomics 2
Illinois Bio-Grid
Genomics and Proteomics 3
• Predict 3D Protein folding given sequence of amino acids• Solution to Schrödinger equation is intractable• Search space of possible folds is immense• Current methods of searching
– ab-initio– AI– Lego– Monte Carlo– Lattice
• On Grids can runmultiple searches– In parallel– In series
• On Grids can run athigher resolutions
Illinois Bio-Grid
Phylogenetics
• Sequence various taxa (individuals or species)– Frequently sequence mitochondrial
DNA– Mitochondrial DNA much like
prokaryote DNA
• Compare sequences – Form hypothetical evolutionary tree– Each branch is a mutation– Shows mutations from hypothetical
ancestor
• Search space is immense– Runs for 6 months on a single
processor– Then crashes!
Illinois Bio-Grid
Computational Fluid Dynamics / Medical Imaging
• Monitor and collect real time CAT scan data– Arterial blood flow
• Use Grid to interpret data – Use Computational Fluid Dynamics to model blood flow– Produce real time imaging – Locate aneurisms and other anomalies– Aid in diagnosis and
decision making forsurgical procedures
– Non-invasive
Illinois Bio-Grid
Cell membrane modeling
• Run simulations using both– Configurational Bias Monte Carlo Method (CBMC)– Molecular Dynamics (MD)
• Current simulations being done involve the properties of cholesterol in lipid membranes– Cholesterol is known to be an essential component of mammalian cell
membranes– Its exact role is not well understood
• Previous simulations have been run– Up to 1600 lipid or cholesterol molecules– And 52,000 water molecules
• We're increasing these simulations by– An order of magnitude in the physical dimensions– And 2 to 3 orders of magnitude in time
Illinois Bio-Grid
Data Modeling
• Data Modeling LSG-RG in GGF Reference Implementation– Automatic Data Synchronization– Flagging "dirty" data– Flagging data sources (including
versioning)

The Purpose of Mass Spectrometry in Proteomics
• Identify and sequence all proteins involved in an organism’s biology.
• Use this knowledge to identify proteins (or peptides) that can be used to study and understand different biological states.
• Correlate protein expression levels to biological function. Use protein or peptide biomarkers to identify disease states in patients.
• Use the structure of the relevant proteins as targets for developing new therapeutic techniques (drugs etc..).
Illinois Bio-Grid
Mass Spectrometers in Proteomics
• Mass spectrometers measure the masses of proteins and peptides by moving their ions through the instrument in a controlled way.
• Proteins can be degraded using enzymes and the peptides produced can be analyzed by the mass spectrometer.
• A MS/MS instrument can cause the peptide ions to fragment into smaller pieces which can be used to deduce the peptide’s sequence.
• Once the sequence of the peptides has been determined, the protein’s complete sequence can be reassembled from the peptide sequences.
• The intensity of peaks can be used to determine the expression level of a protein in a sample.
• Samples from healthy and diseased tissue can be compared to locate biomarkers for disease.
Illinois Bio-Grid
The MS/MS Experiment Produces Multidimensional Data
• Chromatograms (Time vs Intensity)• Precursor Ion Spectra of Peptides (Mass vs Intensity)• Product Ion Spectra of Peptides(*(Precursor Mass), Mass vs Intensity)

Important Issues In Computation for Proteomics
• DeNovo Sequencing– Many computationally efficient algorithms exist– Many times algorithms produce incorrect results very quickly!– Issue of posttranslational modifications introduces complexity into interpretations– Much data must be discarded to accommodate workstation based computational capacity– A strong desire exists to use intensity data as well as mass data in interpretations
• Database Search (Protein ID)– Most packages are commercial, few open source (BLAST based only)– The more posttranslational modifications you allow for, the longer the searches take. Area
is ripe for parallelism.– Serious problems with false positive identifications
• Many active in research to address this problem• Could be reduced by more front end interpretation before search• Could combine spectra from multiple MS types before search instead of correlating ID
results after searches• Datamining
– What do you do with all the identifications? Systems Biology!• Create models for signal pathways using protein id and expression data
