Dear colleagues,
 
Does anyone knows where I can get a z-matrix or Cartesian coordinate for 
a cluster of silicon atoms three layers deep from the Si(111) 7x7 
reconstructed surface?  I would appreciate an experimental/ theoretical 
or combined reference.  Is there a database that would supply surface 
unit cells geometries?

Thank you very much.  I will summarize the answers.

I sent email a couple days ago asking for advice re linux cluster vendors
and critical configuration issues (I am going to summarize my findings
after getting all the responses). It turned out that the choice of the
processor is the most critical one. I had an impression from literature
that Athlon MPX goes head by head with Xeon in terms of CPU speed for
heavy numerics, but it is considerably less expensive.

Surprisingly, I received several responses that contradict to my view. In
particular, Xeon is only 5-10% more expensive, but it is more powerful
since it is currently running at 2.4 GHz, has 400 MHz front bus plus 512
Kb of secondary cash as compared to 1.76 GHz, 266 MHz and 384 Kb for
Athlon. Also, the newest linux kernel will provide multithreading on Xeons
that could also result in substantial boost for numerical calculations. 

I think this is old question, but I would like to know what experts
say: Is it really true that the new Xeon is superior than Athlon as far as
heavy numerical calculations in cluster environment are concerned?

Dear CCL,

In Tinker, the charged amino-acids (ASP, GLU and ARG, LYS but not HIS)
are only defined in their ionized state (in the Amber force-field). Is
their an automatic way to protonate the negative residues and to
deprotonate the positive residues ? I still got the corresponding point
charges from the web, however modifying the .xyz file (or the pdb file)
would be a task ... too long !
Or maybe could you point a piece of code that can handle such
manipulations/modifications of a protein structure (possibly free and
not windows-based) ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nicolas

Dear Compouter Experts,

I am trying to run a big job (1260 basis functions) on a dual 933MHz PC.
The operating system is RedHat 7.2, and there is 1 GB of memory. I have
not specified memory in the default route since test jobs showed that the
performance decreased considerably even if much less memory was requested
than the machine has.  
Now the number of processors is reduced to 1 by G98 due of lack of memory.
Checking with the top command, G98 is supposed to use only 5.8% of the
memory. Gtop (memory usage resident) shows that there are three main
users of memory: l502 (59756k), httpd (54312k), and nautilus (54780k). Sum
of resident sizes is 260752k. In contrast the command "free" gives:
Mem total: 1027928, used: 1022784, free 5144, shared 47864, buffers 100320
cached 771980
I do not understand where the memory is. Is there a way to tune the
system better? Would it be better to not use a graphical interface? Or am
I doing everything wrong? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ulrike Salzner

Serge,
The MarvinView application can display xyz files and other formats. It 
is in Java, so it also runs under Windows.
You can download it at http://www.chemaxon.com/products.html
Documentation: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/doc/mview.html
This application is free for academic and home users.
Best regards,
Ferenc
PS: You may be interested that MarvinView is also available as an applet 
for web applications and as a JavaBean for creating Java applications

My 16-Nodes linux cluster (http://www/departments/ChemInf/edda.html) 
runs on 100 MBit Ethernet. The Gaussian 98 calculations scale nicely 
(http://www/departments/ChemInf/g98scaling.html) for up to 8 nodes. 
Please note, that this might be true only for the B3LYP geometry 
optimization that we do.

Due to this behaviour, I have logically splitted the cluster into two, 
using the PBS batch system, because we run a lot of jobs and two 
simultaneous jobs on 8 nodes each are much more sensible then one on 16, 
if you have hundreds of jobs in the queue.

For us, the 100 MBit Ethernet seems to be ok. We have been convinved by 
others that ab-initio calculations of the type that we run always show 
that scaling behaviour that we see and that thus a faster network would 
be a waste of money. I understand that today GBit Ethernet costs as must 
as did the 100 MBit stuff at the time we bought our cluster, so this 
would be my choice.

I have nothing to contribute with respect to HD speed and MM calcs :-)

Cheers,

Chris

Hi CCLers,

Can anybody suggest where I might find information regarding some analogues of L-arginine? I'd like to find out some structural information and if possible, pKa of the side chains of L-ornithine, L-citrulline and L-homoarginine. 

Thank you in advance.

-Rowyna K.-

Hi, I wonder if anyone can point me the place to
download a linux version BABEL. 

P.S. I searched the ccl.net website and it did not
seem to give too much valuable informations. I'm sure
my question could be well avoided if the text archives
are a little bit more organized.

Pharma Algorithms, a Toronto-based software company has released =
Algorithm Builder and four high-throughput ADME/Tox screens.



Algorithm Builder (AB):



A desktop system allowing you to build QSAR, QSPR and SAR models for =
rapid hypothesis testing.=20

These models are then easily converted to rule-based algorithms for =
screening new molecules.=20

This flexible system allows visual, on-screen assembly of custom =
physico-chemical predictors, Lipinski-type filters and complex property =
screens.

Previously time-consuming tasks have been automated resulting in =
substantial efficiency gains - Algorithm Builder makes manual =
derivations obsolete.

No programming language needs to be learned to build high quality =
algorithms=20



AB features include:=20



. automated structure fragmentation (atomic, functional group, =
core-scaffold), structural information matrices=20

. over 100 built-in constitutional and phys-chem descriptor calculators, =


. statistical analysis (MLR, BR, PLS, PCA, kNN) as well as Recursive =
Partitioning and Hierarchical Clustering analysis tools.=20

. use fragmental methods and similarity analysis in algorithms. Insert =
equations and conditions with a simple parser.=20

. compiled algorithm files are easily exported and shared with =
colleagues.





ADME/Tox Screens:



            - Toxicity: acute toxicity screening based on 70,000 LD50 =
values

=20

            - Human Intestinal Absorption (HIA): identifies compounds =
with poor intestinal permeability

=20

            - Ionization: estimates pKa and ion form fractions at any pH

=20

            - Aqueous Solubility: estimates solubility of non-ionized =
electrolytes in pure water

=20

ADME/Tox filters provide the tools to quickly identify poor candidates.=20

These filters are provided as standalone "black-box" predictors or as =
customizable "look-inside" algorithms when used as add-ins to Algorithm =
Builder.=20





For more information please visit our web site, www.ap-algorithms.com, =
or e-mail us: info@ap-algorithms.com

"The Advanced Algorithm Builder is a highly versatile and useful tool =
for the bench chemist who wants to validate his working hypothesis in a =
quantitative manner," Prof. Dr. Hugo Kubinyi.

Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Heidelberg, =
Germany. Former Chair of the QSAR and Modelling Society and former head =
of Drug Design at BASF AG, Germany.
