28. BioVLAB Summary
• Usability (Reconfigurable environments)
– As an adoption of the SaaS model of Cloud Computing for BioVLAB, end-users only need to launch the pre-
composed BioVLAB workflows.
With XBaya, users can easily customize it by modifying just a few components and input parameters.
• Flexibility (Full privileges)
– As a way of the IaaS model, BioVLAB workflow developers can have flexibility for handling computing
resources and implementing applications with Amazon Cloud. They can choose specific systems resources to
satisfy their needs with a fully controlled access power.
• Reducing processing time & Cost effective
– Users can have number of servers, and control their usage time as they want. That reduces researching cost
and initial time to construct physical infrastructure for research.

41. GWT gadget development
• Developing GWT gadgets for data management
• Why GWT?
– Write in Java (thus the availability of rich application dev
and debugging tools, etc)
– Code translated into cross-browser JavaScript at
deployment
– GWT gadgets library simplifies gadget development
☼GWT gadgets can be hosted in iGoogle and OGCE gadget
containers, and in HUBzero based gateways.

42. Inter-gadget communication
• Using PMRPC – HTML5 JavaScript library for
– Message passing
– Remote procedure call
– Publish-subscribe cross-context communication in browser
• Using PMRPC to facilitate communication between two
gadgets
• How does it work
– A simple API for exposing and calling procedures between browser
windows, iFrames and web workers, even between different
origins.

• OGCE, HUBzero, iGoogle
• HUBzero
– Web platform based on Joomla , developed by Purdue to support online
simulations and scientific collaboration
– A different model from OGCE: turnkey, end to end solution for building
gateways
– 25+ hubs are in production or being actively developed, with nanohub.org
being the grandfather of all.
• Add gadget support in HUBzero
– Integrate Apache Shindig -- an OpenSocial container
– OGCE gadgets work as-is in a hub

53. Overview
 Background
What is Analytical Ultracentrifugation (AUC)?
What does an AUC experiment provide?
How do we obtain results?
Example results
 TG Science Gateway
 GFAC Integration
 User community
Publications
 Future
Back

54. Background: What is AUC ?
 AUC is an important technique for the solution study of
macromolecules
 Molecules are not fixed to a microscope grid
 Molecules are not distorted by crystal packing forces (vs X-Ray
crystallography)
 Very large size range (complements cryo-EM and NMR)
 Dynamic processes can be studied
 Conformational changes
Back

55. Background: What is AUC ?
 Sample placed in cell
 Run Ultracentrifuge
Usually 20-60k RPM
 Collect data
4 to 24 hours or more
 Analyze the data
Back

56. Background: What does it provide?
 Time series of radial concentration profiles
 From this, we can determine:
How many different types of molecules are
present in the solution
What are there molecular weights and shapes
(one dimension of shape – spherical to
ellipsoidal)
Are interactions present
Concentration
Radius
Back

57. Background: How do we obtain results?
 The Lamm equation is a PDE which describes an ideal solute (a molecule in
solution).

∂t r =
− 1 ∂
r ∂r [s  r2 C − D r
2 ∂C
∂r ]
t
 Two solute-specific parameters (s, D)
Other parameters are global to the experiment
Build finite element models (FEM) for each (s,D) in range
Fit collections of (s,D) FEMs to experimental data.
Multistep procedure
