| Abstract | The study of proteins is a crucial aspect of the biological field, as they are essential elements of every living cell. Often, the function of a given protein is tightly tied to its geometric structure. Thus, protein structure analysis is an important issue with multiple applications. For example, the ability of a protein to bind other proteins or ligands and the estimation of evolutionary distances between families of proteins are both based on their spatial structure. A key part in the geometric description of a protein is played by the structural motif, a 3D element which appears in a variety of molecules and it is usually made of just a few structures. In this paper we will consider only motifs of secondary structures (SS in the following). The goal is to implement a parallel method to detect the presence and location of all motifs of SSs in a given protein or in a set of proteins. The paper discusses all possible forms of available parallelism, both shared memory and message passing. The analysis is based on existing approaches, such as Secondary Structure Co-Occurrences (SSC) [4, 5] and the Secondary Structure Triplets (SST) [6], both based on the General Hough Transform (GHT) technique [1]. The key idea is to ignore the biological significance on the motifs as much as possible, and to focus on the geometric description of the structures which could be simply viewed as vectors in a 3D space. The paper analyzes a parallel implementation, based on OpenMP. It also hints to a possible exploitation of a hybrid MPI/OpenMP paradigm, useful in the special case of cross protein analysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
