  • Abstract
    The SBGrid Science Portal provides multi-modal access to computational infrastructure, data storage, and data analysis tools for the structural biology community. It incorporates features not previously seen in cyberinfrastructure science gateways. It enables researchers to securely share a computational study area, including large volumes of data and active computational workflows. A rich identity management system has been developed that simplifies federated access to US national cyberinfrastructure, distributed data storage, and high performance file transfer tools. It integrates components from the Virtual Data Toolkit, Condor, glideinWMS, the Globus Toolkit and Globus Online, the FreeIPA identity management system, Apache web server, and the Django web framework.
