Nowadays researchers in biotechnology and at pharmaceutical industries are supported by many chemical software development platforms and desktop applications. JChem is one example of such key software platforms, which is a java based suite of integrated programs and toolkits for many cheminformatics tasks. Its components include chemical database engines, chemical structure editor and visualization tools, physicochemical property predictors and other tools for chemical structure manipulation. In collaboration with MTA SZTAKI’s Application Porting Centre distributed computing infrastructure (DCI) support was added to the JChem framework to increase its processing power. Our project work addressed all issues how to combine a highly specialized chemical software development platform with a stand-alone DCI focused application development environment; namely with gUSE - grid User Support Environment.
