Comprehensive Program in Computer-Aided Drug Design at University of
California, San Diego
http://bioscience.ucsd.edu/CADDSS.html
February 10-14, 2003
San Diego, California

Computational tools have become increasingly important in the drug discovery
and design processes. Methods from computational chemistry are used
routinely to study drug-receptor complexes in atomic detail and to calculate
properties of small molecule drug candidates. Tools from information
sciences and statistics are increasingly essential to help organize and
manage the huge chemical and biological activity databases that all
pharmaceutical companies now possess, and to make optimal use of these
databases.

This intensive 1-week program will provide an overview of computational
techniques and application areas of importance in contemporary drug design
programs, with an emphasis on practical aspects, and the usefulness and
limitations of CADD in current industrial research, addressing topics such
as:

Overall new drug development strategies.
Integrating CADD into your company's overall drug discovery process for
optimum impact.
Potential contributions and pitfalls.
Factors favoring and inhibiting successful CADD contributions.
CADD usefulness and effectiveness metrics.
Likely evolution and forcing functions in near-term CADD methodologies and
its impact on the development of new and better drugs.

Subject: CIS np* minimization 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,
I'm minimizing the geometry of np* excited states of heterocycles using
CIS in Gaussian98 (I'm not using MCSCF due to the size of
the molecules investigated).
In Cs symmetry the geometry minimization of these states converge
nicely, but they are not local minima.
When I remove symmetry restrictions the nature of the CIS root changes
to pp* for most molecules.
I've tried to restart the minimization from the previous steps with the
new geometry and correct root, but this doesn't always help. I've
also tried adding the normal mode (corresponding to the imaginary freq.)

of the symmetric np* excited states as a perturbation to the
initial structure and this does help in some cases, but not all.
Does anyone have any other ideas how to minimize excited np* states ?
Why does the excited states minimization of np* states often
collapse to pp* states ?

Sincerely,
Dan

Dear Dan,
when you lower the symmetry from Cs to C1, their is no symmetry 
distinction between n and pi, and the corresponding wavefunctions will 
tend to mix. In those cases it is frequently difficult to arrive at 
an unambigous assignment of what is n-pi* and what is pi-pi*. - 
Maybe this is part of your problem?

Yours, Jens >--<

Dear Colleagues,

Presently I am searching the best theoretical method and software for the
evaluation of decoherence in our designed elements of molecular NMR
quantum computers and their gates (see our website: www.itpa.lt/~tamulis/ ).
Maybe you can advise me the best method and software for evaluation the
Nuclear Spin Decoherence rate or confirm that our found P.H. Handel's
(Univ. Missouri) method is good for our molecular quantum nanodevices.

Thanking your in advance.
With best regards, Arvydas Tamulis
