Hello, I am attemptin to use freely available software to prepare the files in 
AUTODOCK. I have come quite a long way, however, I get a misterious behaviour  
when I run autodock3. The output *.dlg shows that there are conflicts  the *.gpf 
filenames. As seen below:

The only abnormal thing I have found about this procedure is a charge error, in 
the *.err file generate when checking the macromolecule for charges using 
the check-qs script. Could this have impact on the grid map, and yield this 
problem?

Dear protein modelers,

while preparing a protein structure as input for MD simulations, I
encountered the following  points, which I would like to ask your advice:

- How do you usually deal with titratable residues (GLU, ASP, LYS, ARG) ?
  Are all of them simply taken in their ionized forms ? Would it be good
  to try to rationalize the ionization states of these residues by 
  manually inspecting their environment ? Which methods/rules of thumb are 
  available for the estimation of these ionization states ?

- In my case the protein has an experimentally determined isoelectric
  point of roughly pH=4.7. Does this mean, that the protein will have a
  negative net charge at pH=7 ? Then, is there a method to correlate the
  isoelectric point with this net charge ? And, are MD calculations
  reasonable, when the net charge of the system differs from zero ?

- In case the net charge is neutralized by counter ions: how and where
  should these be positioned ? Should one counter ion be placed directly
  at each titratable residue (i.e. number of counter ions = number of
  ioniziable residues) or should counter ions be placed (arbitrarily ?)
  around the protein structure (i.e. number counter ions = net charge of
  the whole system) ? 

Any comments are highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Christian

Hello fellow research colleques and friends,

I am looking for references both latest and past on the experimental and 
spectroscopic studies on hydration patterns or liquid mixtures  of ethylene 
and propylene glycols + water. I request all those netters who are working 
in these particular systems or alcohol - water systems in general to respond 
with the literature references they may have in their files as well as with 
the addresses of research groups they know. We have started some  work on 
these sytems in bulk solution as well as in gas phase using ab initio MESP 
calculations. Our aim is to understand explicitly the  molecular 
interactions between the glycols and water and also ascertain the role 
played by the hydrophobic groups such as methyl groups on the cooperative 
interactions among wate - water contacts etc.. The past and contemporary 
references on such work are highly useful in planning our work properly.

Thanking in advance.

With best regards

yours sincerely

Dear Artem,

JChem is a software for handling chemical databases and structure 
files.
    http://www.jchem.com
It runs under both Unix and Windows (even Mac) since it is written in
Java. (At our web site you can try examples running on a Sun machine.)

We are walking into the area of combinatorial chemistry with a new
module, JKlustor, that can perform diversity calculations and 
clustering.
    http://www.jchem.com/doc/admin/JKlustor.html

The software is developed continuously, we are open to suggestions
on future directions. Please let me know if you have any question or 
if there are features that you miss.

Best regards,
Ferenc

Dear netters,

Can someone advise me on the following topic:

Applying quantum chemical calculations to proteins I always
spend a lot of my time on mechanical preliminary purification
of the protein structures setting hydrogen atoms in proper positions
and checking the structure errors.

The software that can automate this process is usually not
enough reliable and requires a posteriori expert's check. The
manual correction is tremendously impractical for hundreds of
proteins with thousands of residues that I need to submit for QM
calculation.

Could you please share with me your experience what software you
consider as the most trustworthy or may be there is some
free or commercially available database of proteins with correct
hydrogen atoms already assigned. What would be your normal
procedure if you would need to submit 50000 atoms' protein for
QM calculation taking the structure from the PDB database?

My second question is related to protein structure correction
feature of graphical applications that goes beyond adding
hydrogen atoms.
There are many graphical applications that can advise a user to
correct some part of the molecule. To best of my knowledge all
of them are based on the Lewis structure rules. As PDB structures
not always obeying Lewis principles and valence rules the result
of the automatic correction is not reliable enough.

Could you please recommend me a software free or commercial
if it exists that can safely repair protein structure or can check it
and graphically select those parts of the protein that require
human expertise for correction. Once the user qualified the fragment
as valid the next time check should not suggest this fragment for
correction.

Thanks for your help,
Victor.

However, these techniques do not give equivalent results. Some
guarantee the correct thermodynamic averages in the NpT ensemble,
others only the correct averages for quantities that do not depend on
the momenta, and yet others not even that. No technique can generate
"correct" dynamics at constant temperature, it is not even clear what
exactly that means.

It depends on what you call T. I suppose you mean the instantaneous
kinetic energy, which is indeed not constant. The quantity that you
should identify with the thermodynamic temperature is some long-time
average of the kinetic energy.

Not necessarily. The kinetic energy is a fluctuating energy in the NpT
ensemble, and its fluctuations can even be calculated. If your
simulation uses the correct physical parameters (an ideal that is
never achieved, of course), then the fluctuations you get out must be
the correct ones.

Anyway, you cannot reduce the fluctuations without changing physical
parameters, and that is not necessarily a good idea.

  Konrad Hinsen.

Dear Mike and CCLers,

The temperature fluctuaction in the NVE ensemble is
<delta T^2>/T^2=2/3N,
where N is the number of atoms in your simulation. Check if your variance
sqrt(<delta T^2>)=50 K is in agreement with this formula. If it is, you
should increase N, or increase the simulation time, or run several
paralell simulations with independent initial configurations and average
them.

If you receive other answers, please, let know them. 

Regards,
Eduardo

Dear Artem,

JChem is a software for handling chemical databases and structure
files.
    http://www.jchem.com
It runs under both Unix and Windows (even Mac) since it is written in
Java. (At our web site you can try examples running on a Sun machine.)

We are walking into the area of combinatorial chemistry with a new
module, JKlustor, that can perform diversity calculations and
clustering.
    http://www.jchem.com/doc/admin/JKlustor.html

The software is developed continuously, we are open to suggestions
on future directions. Please let me know if you have any question or
if there are features that you miss.

Best regards,

It actually isn't the RMP article, but the Proc Royal Soc (A200, 542,
1950), that contains Boys' original work on Gaussian Orbitals.

I would also like to point out an excellent review by Saunders:

V. R. Saunders. "Molecular Integrals for Gaussian Type Functions." in

Hello

I'm trying to compile g98 (i'm not sure if A7 or A9) on a dual processor
alpha running RH7, i've installed the compaq fortran and math libraries
but I still can't get it to compile.

Every time I run bldg98 it stops because it tries to ling bsd/g98.make to
generic.make which doesn't exist!!.  I've tried modifying bldg98 so when
it reaches the generic machine if it links g98.make to alpha-osf.make
which is the only Makefile for alpha as far as I can tell but no go.

The weird thing is that gau-machine does know what machine it is:

[root@master bsd]# ../gau-machine 
alpha-openvms

Here's a little piece of bldg98.log:

...
unset x
gau-unlimit
rehash
set x = `gau-machine`
gau-machine
echo machine type is alpha-openvms
machine type is alpha-openvms
gau-unlimit
set ARFLAGS = `gau-arflags`
gau-arflags
rm -f bsd/g98.make
@ generic = 0
@ sun = 0
...
if ( alpha-openvms == alpha-osf1 ) then
@ generic = 1
cd bsd
ln -s generic.make g98.make
endif
...
cp ../bsd/mdutil.c bsd
make -f ../bsd/g98.make JUNK1=JUNK mdutil.o
make: ../bsd/g98.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../bsd/g98.make'.  Stop.
ar rlv ../util.a mdutil.o
ar: mdutil.o: No such file or directory
else if ( 0 ) then
rm mdutil.o
rm: cannot remove `mdutil.o': No such file or directory
endif

That's when it tries to use generic.make.  If I modify bldg98 I get:

...
gau-machine
echo machine type is alpha-openvms
machine type is alpha-openvms
...
if ( alpha-openvms == alpha-osf1 ) then
@ generic = 1
cd bsd
ln -s alpha-osf1.make g98.make
endif

Which made me think of a question: what are current "limits" (due
to RAM/performance/time requirements/cost/etc.) for QM calculations
of large molecules?  What's the largest peptide that can be dealt
with on an ab initio level (insert your favorite basis set here) in
a reasonable time?  What's the similar state of the art protein for
semiempirical methods?  And, for comparison sake, what's the state
of the art for molecular mechanics?

Can anyone suggest any references or data for such comparison?

Here is the summary of answers to my question whether molecular
mechanics can calculate IR intensities.
I thank all who showed an interest; they are acknowledged (#1- - #6)
below--I hope I haven't missed anyone.

Briefly, MM can. One such commercially-available program is a version of
MM3, developed by the Allinger group.

Dr J-H Lii of the University of Georgia (USA) was kind enough to
calculate some IRs for me.

The Question:

2001 May 22

Hello,

    Molecular mechanics programs can now calculate the positions
(cm**-1) of normal-mode vibrations. However, MM by itself cannot
calculate the _intensities_ of these vibrations, since this depends on
the change in dipole moment, which in turn depends on electron
distribution, a concept outside MM theory.

    It seems, however, that in principle MM could calculate intensities
using assigned bond moments or atom charges, which would provide a rapid

way of calculating IR spectra. Has this been implemented in any program?

Thanks

E. Lewars

The Answers:

#1

Hi,

 For periodic systems, try GULP (General Utility Lattice Program, by
Dr. Julian Gale <j.gale@ic.ac.uk> )
 I've never done it, but this is from the help file:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 @@intensity
Topic   : intensity
Type    : Information
Info    : Infra-red phonon intensities are output when the eigenvectors
        : have been calculated using "eigen". Intensities are in nominal

        : units of charge**2. Raman intensities are also now output.
        : However, it should be noted that they are approximate and only

        : valid for systems with a single type of bond in (such as a
        : silicate).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you can calculate the intensities from the dipole moment change as a
function of the Cartesian coordinates. In principle
the charges can be whatever, but the intensities will be extremely
dependent on them. A way to obtain good and cheap
charges is to use QCFF/PI (see, for example Warshel,
Computers&Chemistry, 1,195-202,1977), but if you are not so
worried about the charges quality even with regular CFF (see
Warshel-Levitt-Lifson, J. Mol. Spectr. 33,84-99(1970))
you can do the above job. Apart from QCFF/PI I don't know which other
programs have this implemented. Sorry about
that.

You should check the book by K. Machida "Principles of molecular
mechanics". I believe that the RISE program by the same author is able
to calculate IR intensities.

Dear Lewars,

The MM3 program uses bond dipole moments and bond charge flux to
calculate
the IR intensity. Here is the reference you might want to look at....

Lii, J.-H. and Allinger, N.L. "Intensities of Infrared Bands in
Molecular
Mechanics (MM3)", J. Comput. Chemistry, 13, 1138-1141 (1992)

Best regards,

-Robert

Dear Professor Lewars,

Let me answer your questions in turns...

(1) Yes, MM3 is available from Tripos, Inc. It also available from QCPE
for
academic users.

(2) MM3 uses bond moments instead. It converts bond moment to atomic
charge
then calculate IR intensity.

(3) We found Bond Charge Flux (even Angle Charge Flux) parameters play
important role in IR intensity calculation in MM. Therefore, I am not
sure
if the error were small in Benzene or not. It needs to be investigated.

-Robert
