Abstract

We present a framework that facilitates parallel execution of protein structure analysis tools to be carried out on the entire (or subsets of) the Protein Databank (PDB) using the Apache Hadoop platform. Our design enables structural Biologists to use the Hadoop platform without having to explicitly write Map-Reduce code. It is easily scalable and uses a mapper architecture that functions on a stand- alone basis or can be extended to include further Map-Reduce operations.
