Dear CCL-ers:

I run Gaussian 98:  SGI64-G98RevA.7 with NMR=GIAO IOP33(10=1) keywords and 
wanted to get the paramagnetic part of shielding tensors calculated at the
MP2 level. However, only  SCF GIAO Paramagnetic Magnetic shielding tensor (ppm)
^^^                       ^^^
is printed in the output. 
Can you tell me how this data can be obtained, please.

Thank you very much in advance.


Cordially,
Jiri Czernek

CALL FOR PAPER -->  Use of Toxicological Information in Drug Design

You are invited to submit an abstract for a 30 minute presentation in
Division of Chemical Information's (CINF) session on "Use of Toxicological
Information in Drug Design" via the ACS OASys at:
	http://acs.confex.com/oasys.htm

Toxicological information has become increasingly important during the
development of new pharmaceuticals.  Recent efforts have been directed
towards shifting the toxicological evaluation of drug candidates earlier in
the discovery process.  Advancements have also been made in the area of
modeling experimental toxicology information so that it may be applied to
gain an understanding of the toxicological profile of novel compounds.  This
session will focus on:
	o   sources of toxicological information
	o   modeling toxicological information
	o   use of in silico toxicological screening in high-throughput
chemistry
The deadline for submissions to OASys is April 17.

The 220th ACS national meeting in Washington, D.C. will be held August
20-24, 2000.  Information on the meeting can be found on the ACS web site
at:
	http://www.acs.org/meetings/washington2000/.

See you in Washington!

The following Call for Papers has been listed on several servers, I
apologize for any duplication.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2000 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies will
take place in Honolulu, Hawaii, from December 14 - 19, 2000.  The congress
is cosponsored by the American Chemical Society , the Chemical Society of
Japan, the Canadian Society for Chemistry, the New Zealand Institute of
Chemistry and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.  Chemical Societies
in the countries that border the Pacific Ocean will be Official
Participating Organizations.  Overall, 6,000 reports on current research and
development will be presented in 179 symposia and in oral and poster general
sessions in 10 topical areas.  If previous congresses are any indication,
this year's program should be highly interesting and attendance should be
very large.

You are invited to submit an abstract for a paper or poster to be considered
for presentation at symposium #175 "Use of Chemical Information in Organic
Synthesis", co-organized  by Prof. Kimito Funatsu, Toyohashi University of
Technology, Japan, Dr. David Winkler, CSRIO Division of Molecular Science,
Australia, and Dr. Guenter Grethe, MDL Information Systems, Inc., USA.
Abstracts of approximately 150 words must be submitted electronically to the
Congress Secretariat at ACS by April 14.  The congress abstract form is
available for electronic retrieval and submission from the Pacifichem 2000
web site at
				 http://www.acs.org/meetings/pacific2000
      
Why is participation in this symposium essential for synthetic chemists and
information specialists?
 
During the last two decades various programs and databases, large
comprehensive and smaller thematic ones, covering a broad range of synthetic
chemistry, have been developed to assist synthetic chemists with their
tasks.  Additionally, these databases have the potential to serve as a rich
source for extracting data into knowledge bases for reaction planning and
reaction prediction programs.  

Speakers at the symposium including Prof. K. Funatsu (Japan), Prof. J.
Gasteiger (Germany), Prof. S. Hanessian (Canada), Prof. P. Johnson (UK), Dr.
E. Zass (Switzerland) and other experts in their respective fields will
address issues important to the various areas of reaction information
management.  These include such topics as synthesis planning, reaction
retrieval and prediction, reagent selection, integrated web-based
information, information needs in combinatorial chemistry, database
generation and management, and other related topics.  Emphasis of the
symposium will be on the integration of various programs and data from
multiple sources to simulate the working habits of synthetic chemists in
gathering necessary information, thereby generating an environment in which
they will use electronic tools comfortably and efficiently - the synthetic
workbench of the future.  Papers describing the use of the various tools and
information sources available to synthetic chemists and information
specialists alike are solicited.  Presentations for contributed papers will
be restricted to 25 minutes, including 5 minutes for Q & A.

Following is a description of some of the topics we hope to cover in the
symposium: 

Reaction retrieval

	Retrieval of relevant information from existing databases to plan
the synthesis of discrete compounds or libraries and to search for
applicable methodologies and efficient functional group transformations is
the most frequently used and therefore the most important part of any
reaction information system.  Presentations on available systems and
associated applications to facilitate their use, the contents of available
reaction databases, efficient management of large datasets, such as
classification, post-search tools to manage large hitlists and other
retrieval related topics are invited. 
		
Reaction prediction

	Reaction prediction plays an important role in synthesis,
particularly in process development and combinatorial chemistry.
Presentations addressing the use of available programs and the generation of
knowledge bases from reaction databases to assist in the validation of
reaction proposals in the planning process will be part of the symposium.
Other topics for discussion are applications of methodologies to use
physico-chemical parameters in predicting the outcome of reactions and the
importance of functional group perception and their dependency on reaction
conditions as criteria for reagent selection and automated synthesis.

Synthesis planning

	Synthesis planning is experiencing rejuvenation, largely due to
developments in combinatorial chemistry. Emphasis of programs has shifted
>from planning syntheses of complex molecules to generating efficient and
economic preparations of libraries of compounds, frequently involving the
use of solid-phase methodology.  We invite speakers to discuss progress made
in this important area as well as talk about validation procedures used in
the planning process and methods to select viable starting materials. 

Combinatorial chemistry

	Combinatorial synthesis continues to have an immense impact on the
developments in managing chemical information.  Finding the most relevant
methodologies, planning a library, and selecting the most viable reagents
and solid supports are some of the important tasks to be carried out by the
synthetic chemist. Presentations on these topics as well as discussions
about the utilization of available information for automated synthesis and
effective data management are desirable. 

Electronic workbench

	The future and success of using electronic information in synthesis
is heavily dependent on the smooth integration of the required tools in an
electronic workbench through friendly graphical interfaces and smooth
operations. To guarantee good results, the workbench must provide easy
access to large amounts of data in diversified databases - online and
inhouse - and in electronic versions of the primary and secondary
literature.  The electronic labjournal must serve both as an archiving and
registration tool.  We are soliciting papers describing the use of any of
these tools, particularly web-based applications.

Hi, CCL fellows

Where can I get an "organic synthesis analysis" or "organic structure
analysis" application such as LHASA or DENDRAL.

I don't know much about  DENDRAL. Actually, I heard it most recently.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Subject: some questions about AutoDock3.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

hello, all,

I just learnt how to use AutoDock3.0, however I have 3 questions:

1) why there is almost "segment  fault" when I run SA method, but never
caused the same problem for GA algorithm?

2) what is the reasonably 'best' docked run:  the rank 1 one in the
cluster analysis?

3) how can I choose the 'best' run from many docking jobs (each jbo has
many runs)?

Thanks a lot.
