OSC helping OU researcher revolutionize drug discovery with RNA in the spotlight

(Ohio Supercomputer Center) The rise of antibiotic resistance among common infectious bacteria is a worrisome health threat. Jennifer Hines, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Ohio University, is looking to ribonucleic acid (RNA) structures for new drug discovery. Since Hines has to test the docking of entire libraries of small molecules on the riboswitch, she uses the power of the Ohio Supercomputer Center's Oakley Cluster to speed up the calculation process.
