Subject: Specification of alpha and beta orbitals for g98 cube files?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear computational chemists!

I am using gaussian 98 and would like visualize molecular orbitals with
gOpenMol. In order to do this I first make a formated checkpoint file,
whereafter I use cubegen to create cube files for each of the orbitals I
want to display. 

A generic input for molecular orbital number 20 for cubegen could be:

prompt:/cubegen 0 mo=20 molecule.fchk molecule_mo20.cube 40 h

As I am doing calculations on open shell species, I would like to
specify to cubegen, not only an orbital number, but also if it is an
alpha or beta orbital. The input line above gives alpha orbital no. 20.
Does the numbering of the beta orbitals simply start numerically after
all occupied and virtual alpha orbitals? 

If anybody can help or maybe send me an example of an input-line that
works for this purpose I will be very appreciative,

Peter

Hi all

Does anyone know whatever became of the program Chem2Pac,
written by Marcio Cyrillo?  I have copies on two of my pc's
and I've reconfigured both of them (one accidentally, one on
purpose) and I need to get new codes so I can use the program.
I've done a web search and nothing comes up.

Thanks,
Richard

Dear CCLers,
 I am trying to see the exact architecture of active site of a protein . 
Could any one tell me any software or tool (preferably free )through 
which I could view the exact metal centre of the protein. I tried to 
edit the PDB file and view the metal centre using rasmol but without 
much success.
 Thanks in advance.

Hello,

As a graduate student on theoretical chemistry, I am
thinking of future empolyment opportunity. However, as
we all know that it is very tough to get a job in
industry for a person like me, but I am still curious
to give a try.  Hope someone in the list could be kind
to provide any tip to save me out of school. :-)

BTW, do we have to go for a postdoc in an
industry-closely-related group for another couple of
years? Maybe that would be my best choice, but I am a
bit afraid that they may not accept application from
my background... Life is just too tough! :-)

PS: I am kind of pure theoretical guy, and almost know
nothing about QSAR, drug-design, dock/lead stuff...
which have been occupying the ad places of "Chemical &
Engineering News" or CCL-job...

PPS:how long does it take to learn those stuff? Should
it be more easy than Schrodinger Equation...? 

Thanks a lot!

--Mike

Hi,
I am very glad to know the ADT and download it. But when I try to run it, it
always show an error like that:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./adt', line 40, in?
   import AutoDockTools
Import Error: No module named Autodocktool

I do not how the module or python works. DO I need do some other installation in
order to start adt or pmv script (such as link with AUTODOCK3.0)?

Thank  you very much for your instruction.

Dear CCLers:

I appreciate if someone can  tell me how the MakeLaunch program in AUTODOCK3.0
works. What's the hostname need save in "cluster"?  I try to do library
screening using AUTODOCK, I wonder the MakeLaunch can do it.
Thanks for you kind help.
