In this paper we describe deployment of most important life sciences applications on the grid. The build grid is heterogenous and consist of systems of different architecture as well as operating systems and various middleware. We have used UNICORE infrastructure as framework for development dedicated user interface to the number of existing computational chemistry codes and molecular biology databases. Developed solution allows for access to the resources provided with UNICORE as well as Globus with exactly the same interface which gives access to the general grid functionality such as single login, job submission and control mechanism.

Abstract.A description of interactive visualization plugins for the UNI-CORE grid system is provided. The plugins allows for attaching to running UNICORE jobs, downloading current state of computation and visualization of the results. The plugin set contains a general purpose 2D visualization system Sapphire and an example plugin MolDyAna for 3D visualization of the progress of molecular dynamics jobs. The Sapphire subsystem contains user configurable tools for simple plots of different types and 2D data plotting tools, together with an extensive GUI. MolDyAna provides both standard methods of animation and graphing and several advanced postprocessing and visualization techniques
