The North Dakota INBRE Computational Chemistry and Biology Network (CCBN) consists of two networked computational laboratories, one on the North Dakota State University campus and the other on the University of North Dakota campus. Each laboratory is equipped with six SGI Fuel workstations and one SGI Origin300 server with eight processors. Using fees from the university's Technology Fee program, the NDSU cluster is equipped with an electrical back-up service, a projector and a screen facilitating site-to-site workshops, redundant cooling units, and a color laser printer. The UND site hosts the statewide licenses for Accelrys, Inc., software for macromolecular modeling. The NDSU site hosts the statewide licenses for Tripos, Inc software for computer assisted drug design. Both campuses have Gaussian, Inc., licenses that have become useful components of the CCBN. The laboratories feature the SGI Vizserver software that enables the users in one lab to see the screen of the instructor in the other lab. The software, along with teleconferencing units, is essential for shared workshops and collaborations. The CCBN coordinators offer periodic training workshops on how to use the modeling software. The two laboratories of the CCBN are fully utilized by biomedical researchers at UND and NDSU. Over the next five years, the CCBN will extend expertise and support for modeling to other researchers in the North Dakota INBRE network.
