Dear Computational Chemists:

    I have a problem related to the GAMESS package running under PC Linux. My 
molecule is exceeding 2GB limit. I searched the CCL and found similar question 
but no answer was given. So, please tell me how to solve this problem (I know 
Gaussian can do this by splitting files).  

Chan.

Dear CCLers


I few weeks back I posted a question on references/websites related to
n-alkane crystals.  I would like to thank all of you who replied and assure
you that I will be in touch with you in in the future.  The responses are
summarized below:


(1)  "I spent a number of years (5 in fact) looking at the crystallisation
and
structure of diesel waxes. Probably the two most relevant papers that I can
think of (and coincidentally I am an author on) are

A.R. Gerson, S.C. Nyburg and A. McAleer, Crystal structures and voids in
diesel
waxes, Journal of Applied Crystallography, 32, 296-299 (1999)

A.R. Gerson, S.C. Nyburg, Structures of two binary n-alkane solid
solutions,
Acta. Cryst., B50, 252-256 (1994)

I actually did my Ph.D. in this area so if you are interested I can
photocopy
the reference list out of my thesis and fax it to you - it is a bit out of
date
now but may be of some use.

Best regards

Andrea Gerson


(2) Just dropping in my 2 pence worth...

You will find a couple long-chain fatty acids complexes in an article we
recently published: Boström, Norrby, and Liljefors, "Conformational Energy
Penalties of Protein-Bound Ligands", J.Comput.-Aid.Mol.Des.,12,383,1998.
However, you should be cautious when analyzing the 'bioactive'
conformations. That is, the resolution of the complexes is probably not
sufficient to unambiguously determine the 'bioactive' conformation.

A source for protein-ligand complexes, which I find very useful, is the
ReLiBase homepage:
http://relibase.ebi.ac.uk/

Hope this helps.

Regards
Jonas

(3) I've been working on the crystal structures of n-alkanes for the past 4
years, so I can give you some references.

A good paper to start with would be S.C. Nyburg & J.A. Potworowski, Acta
Cryst. B29 (1973) pp. 347-352. It contains all relevant crystal
structures of even n-alkanes except one. That one is described in R.
Boistelle, B. Simon & G. Pepe, Acta Cryst B32 (1976) pp. 1240-1243.

For odd n-alkanes, see A.E. Smith, J. Chem. Phys 21 (1953) pp. 2229-2231
and W. Piesczek, G.R. Strobl & K. Malzahn, Acta Cryst. B30 (1974) pp.
1278-1288.

I possess all structures mentioned in electronical form, in varying
degrees of completeness and in several file formats. If you're
interested, e-mail me.

There are also papers on phase behaviour (e.g. Turner), crystal growth
(search for 'R. Boistelle'), binary and ternary mixtures (search for 'D.
Mondieig') and waxes (search for 'D. L. Dorset').

If you're going to do molecular modelling, there is some additional
stuff you might need to know.

Just e-mail me if you have any further questions.

With kindest regards,

To Jeremey Greenwood,

  Appended to this message is a piece of FORTRAN code (thermo.f) that 
may serve your purpose. It can evaluate thermochemical quantities
including vibrational and rotational entropies as well as total 
enthalpy (H) and free energy (G) at a temperature specified within
the program using quantities from a gaussian 98 harmonic vibrations
output file. I guess the program you already received from other 
would do this but this program may still help you with developing
an automatic procedure.
You only have to specify the name of the g98 file and 
the program would read off the harmonic vibrations from 
the file. 

  To get the program to run follow these steps 


Compile and link  the program 


	  f77 thermo.f 


  I compiled the program on a SGI machine but it should run on
AIX and other major unix stations.

Submit a g98 harmonic vibration file done with default
settings xxx.log to a test run. You should get 
a listing of thermal quantities which duplicates 
those in your g98 output file.
So if you want to repeat your old g98 jobs
redone at different temperature simply repeat the run with 
the setting of temp from 298.15 K changed to the desired value. 

   Obviously writing such a tiny program doesn't require much 
imagination and everyone who finds it useful are welcomed to
download it. But since I lifted the two major subroutines
for parsing the g98 file 
>from external source please retain the comments where
I acknowledged their original source in any future modifications.  

Wai-To Chan
