Increasing the Scope for Polymorph Prediction using e-Science

This poster demonstrates how e-Science can accelerate and facilitate scientific discovery in developing computational methods of predicting the possible crystal structures of organic molecules. We will show how re-engineering an existing scientific process using state-of-the-art distributed computing technologies will not only improve the speed of the scientific process but also make it possibl...
