Abstract

The Information Systems Division of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has successfully designed and implemented a set of generalized interface data-handling routines that control message traffic between a satellite minicomputer in a clinical laboratory and a large main-frame computer. A special queue status inquiry transaction has also been developed that displays the current message-processing backlog and other system performance information. The design and operation of these programs are discussed in detail, with special emphasis on the message-queuing and verification techniques required in a distributed processing environment.

Computer-aided drug design: getting the best results.

There are two major stages in the design of drug molecules: lead-molecule development and lead-molecule optimization. Whereas a variety of computational chemistry and molecular modeling (CC/MM) techniques are now routinely and successfully applied to the optimization stage of drug design, the generation of initial lead compounds has proven a more difficult problem for the CC/MM approach. Only recently has the design of lead molecules by this route become a subject of active research. This article looks at the factors which must be considered carefully when incorporating CC/MM methods into different aspects of drug-design strategies.
