Hi, may I ask that how to implement the Onsager equation for calculating 
the solvent effect in the excited state calculations? I have changed the 
ground state fock matrix by adding the dielectric term, but where to put 
the index of refraction term?

Best regards,
Andy

Activation energy for what reaction?  

If you mean the inversion of the nitrogen lone pair, I imagine that would be
difficult to measure experimentally with tunnelling and with rotation of the
group.  Inversion activation energies for tertiary amines have been
measured, though, as they are far less problematic.

Hi all,

I've seen in the Gaussian programmers manual that the Boys Localization
scheme is available with the Boyloc routine however I'm a bit stumped how
to actually use it.

Secondly, it doesn't appear that there is any other localization scheme
available in G98. Are there any freely available programs that implement
the  Edmiston-Ruedenberg, von Niessen or Pipek-Mezey schemes? I think
some of these are implemented in GAMESS.....???

Thanks for your help. I will summarize.

Chas

I am looking for a correlation-consistent core-valence basis set for Cl, 
preferably cc-pcvqz or aug-cc-pcvqz.  I was unable to find one at the EMSL 
basis set library or in several Google searches.  If any of you have that 
basis set, or a link/reference to a paper where it was published, I would 
appreciate it if you could email me the information at 
mattericson@hotmail.com.

Thank you.

Hi Dario, the problem is that your Hard Disk is not so big as you think;
the scratck files for an MP2 calculation could easyly reach and pass the
2GB; the other problem is the ammount of ram, that could not be enough for
a direct calculation in MP2 (not enough for having results in a reasonable
time on a medium size sistem with a 6-31G+(d) basis), but the best thing
to do is trying anyway a direct SCF calculation (keyword SCF(direct)).
Best reguards

Hi,

I am using the DOCK 4.0 program for ligand-receptor docking and have found
in the manual that there is a 'critical_points' parameter that can be used
to make DOCK focus the search in a particular region. However, the manual
does not explain how to set up the region of interest (spheres) for this
kind of calculation. Anyone has used this option and can explain how to do
this ?

thanks.

Subject: PyQuante v1.03: Python Code for Quantum Chemistry (GPL)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

PyQuante is a suite of programs for writing quantum chemistry
software. The program is written in the Python programming language,
but has many "rate-determining" modules also written in C for
speed. The resulting code is not nearly as fast as Jaguar, Gaussian,
or GAMESS, but the resulting code is much easier to understand and
modify.

The goal of this software is not necessarily to provide a working
quantum chemistry program (although it will hopefully do that), but
rather to provide a well-engineered set of tools so that scientists
can construct their own quantum chemistry programs without going
through the tedium of having to write everything.

The program is released under the GNU General Public License and is
thus freeware. PyQuante can be downloaded from
http://pyquante.sourceforge.net. People can subscribe to the
pyquante-users mailing list at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pyquante-users

Here is an example of what the closed-shell Hartree-Fock scripts look
like:

(best viewed in a fixed-width font...)

def rhf(atomlist):
     "General wrapper for restricted closed-shell hartree fock"
     from basis_631ss import basis
     bfs = getbasis(atomlist,basis)
     S,h = get1ints(bfs,atomlist)
     Ints = get2ints(bfs)
     energy = scf(atomlist,S,h,Ints)
     return energy

def scf(atomlist,S,h,Ints,charge=0,ConvCriteria=0.0001,MaxIter=20):
     "Run the self-consistent field optimization of the  wave function"
     evecs = get_guess(h,S)
     nel = get_nel_from_atomlist(atomlist,charge)
     nclosed,nopen = divmod(nel,2)
     enuke = get_enuke_from_atomlist(atomlist)
     print "nocc, enuke: ",nocc,enuke
     eold = 0.
     for i in range(MaxIter):
         D = mkdens(evecs,0,nocc)
         G = get2JmK(Ints,D)
         F = h+G
         evals,evecs = GHeigenvectors(F,S)
         energy = get_energy(h,F,D,enuke)
         print energy
         if abs(energy-eold) < ConvCriteria: break
         eold = energy
     return energy

This is a preliminary release. Simple HF and LDA calculations work, but 
not much else. Still, it should be useful for people who want to learn 
more about how quantum chemistry calculations work.

Dear Xavier,


Side-chain modeling consists mainly in the right choice of dihedral
angles, Xi i = 1,2,3 and 4. Bond lengths and bond angles stay (more or 
less) constant and can be taken from force field parameters.


Statistical studies attempting to determine the distribution of side 
chain dihedral values of a subset of the PDB permitted to define mainly 
two different kind of rotamer libraries :

Backbone dependent-rotamer library :

Hello,

It is summary of replies on my question that was sent one week ago:

Initial question was: "I am interested in prediction of fluorescence
lifetime of organic molecules. Is there any reasonable approach to
calculate this value or make approximate estimation. I suppose I may
use difference of energies between ground and exited singlet state.
Please send on my mail as I am not subscriber. Thank you."

I took several answers (thank you very much!!!) those are very
promising (!):

*******************************************************

1. "Najeeb Said" <najeeb.said@uk.amershambiosciences.com>:

Although some semi-empirical methods allow you to predict wavelength
of a photon emitted from the excited state
(http://www.accelrys.com/cerius2/zindo.html), these methods will not
tell you if an efficient non-radiative relaxation pathway to the
ground state is present e.g. cis/trans isomerisation or electron
transfer. Ab-initio calculations on the excited state are required to
determine this and these are computationally expensive. As an example
see (Ultrafast Radiationless Deactivation of Organic Dyes: Evidence
for a Two-State Two-Mode Pathway in Polymethine Cyanines;
Sanchez-Galvez, A et al; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 122 (12), 2911 -2924,
2000).

The calculation of fluorescence lifetime is an even more challenging
area. As I mentioned earlier, depopulation of the excited state can
occur by via fluorescence, internal conversion, electron transfer and
other processes. These competing processes can be described as a
series of rate constants i.e.

K(depop) = K(fluorescence) + K(non-fluorescence)

Where K(non-fluorescence) = K(internal conversion) + K(electron
transfer) + K(other pathways).

To determine the fluorescent lifetime (1/ Kfluorescence) of a
compound, you would need to follow the trajectory of its excited state
along a reaction co-ordinate (time). When you consider that a typical
organic dye has a fluorescent lifetime in the nanosecond region and a
typical timestep in these calculations is in the fentosecond scale
(Jolibois, F et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.; 2000; 122; 5801-5810), the
calculation of fluorescent lifetimes of organic dyes is beyond our
capabilities.

The area of fluorescence modelling is a fascinating, but challenging
area. Can you please send a summary of your answers to this list.

Hi Ifir,

You could calculate the radiative lifetime "tau" with formulae
k_rad=4/3 * E^3 d^2/c^3 where k is the radiative decay rate (1/tau), c
is the speed of light, E is the difference between ground and exited
singlet state energies and d is the transition dipole moment
associated with this transition.

Practical expression is

tau[ns]=6000/d^2[Debye]/E^3[eV]

The transition dipole is well defined, it is dipole moment associated
with optical transition between states, i.e. d_ge=<\psi_e| D | \psi_g>,
where \psi_e and \psi_g are excited and ground state electronic
wavefunctions and D is the dipole moment operator (note that you have
x, y and z components of d and their vector's sum).

It does not associated with ground or excited state dipoles given by 
d_gg=<\psi_g| D | \psi_g > and d_ee=<\psi_e| D | \psi_e >, but closely 
related to the oscillator strength f for a given optical transition
f=2/3 * d^2 * E_e, where E_e is the transition frequency.

Note that this way you are going to calculate the radiative decay rate
only, internal conversion (e.g. to triplet), energy and electron
transfer channels will not be accounted for. The total depopulation
rate would be the sum of all these rates.

Best,

Sergei

Well, the problem is really complicated, and one can not really get
anything from considering just energies between ground and exited
states. At least you have to consider transition moments and the
energy gap (i.e. one needs to calculate the oscillator strength, which
is something like f=1/3*TD^2*deltaE). Using this may be you can make
some correlations between fluorescence lifetime and calculated
properties. I am sure there are some rigorous way to calculate
fluorescence lifetime but I don't think it is too easy...

*******************************************************

Ok, now I see there is practical approach to the problem. It should be
tried! If anyone will have good experience with with expression please
send message to this board and to me.

Dear CCLers,

I am trying to simulate a short peptide fully solvated in TIP3 water by 
using 28beta2 version of CHARMM. I intend to employ constant NVT 
conditions and, although the system under study is not particularly large, 
I need a parallel implementation of the code. As far as I understand, in 
CHARMM the NVT ensemble can only be generated in parallel by using 
velocity version (VVER key) of the Verlet algorithm combined with the 
Nose-Hoover thermostat. (I could probably use CPT but I'm not sure about 
how scaling of coordinates is dealt with there). When running a short 
simulation on a fully equilibrated system I find that:

a) VVER version produces considerably lower potential energy than the 
original Verlet (non-parallel) algorithm when the SHAKE is applied. The 
non-parallel Verlet gives results consistent with the CPT ensemble 
simulations.

b) if SHAKE is not applied the VVER algorithm just goes unstable. It 
pumps all the energy into vibrations of both solute and solvent molecules 
until the algorithm breaks. The original Verlet works just fine under the 
same conditions.


I would appreciate any comments or suggestions from those who have 
encounter these problems before.
 

With best wishes,

Andrij

Mark,

Yes, I have been able to compile Autodock 3.0.5 (with minimal changes to
the source code but quite a lot of changes to the make files) with MS
Visual c++ v6 to run under UWIN v2.9 (available free for academic use).
I'm told that the modified files also work for Cygwin. In my tests on a
laptop with 64M RAM, the UWIN version under Windows 2000 runs about 30%
slower than the linux version on the same machine, but this may be
because Win2K does not handle virtual memory as well as linux.

If anyone wants instructions for converting the files, please e-mail me
and I will send them to you (MS Word format). I don't feel free to
distribute the modified files without the risk of breaking the Autodock
licence terms, but you are welcome to the (quite detailed) instructions!

Roger Hull.

Hi Ifir,

You could calculate the radiative lifetime "tau" with formulae
k_rad=4/3 * E^3 d^2/c^3 where k is the radiative decay rate (1/tau), c
is the speed of light, E is the difference between ground and exited
singlet state energies and d is the transition dipole moment
associated with this transition.

Practical expression is

tau[ns]=6000/d^2[Debye]/E^3[eV]

The transition dipole is well defined, it is dipole moment associated
with optical transition between states, i.e. d_ge=<\psi_e| D | \psi_g>,
where \psi_e and \psi_g are excited and ground state electronic
wavefunctions and D is the dipole moment operator (note that you have
x, y and z components of d and their vector's sum).

It does not associated with ground or excited state dipoles given by 
d_gg=<\psi_g| D | \psi_g > and d_ee=<\psi_e| D | \psi_e >, but closely 
related to the oscillator strength f for a given optical transition
f=2/3 * d^2 * E_e, where E_e is the transition frequency.

Note that this way you are going to calculate the radiative decay rate
only, internal conversion (e.g. to triplet), energy and electron
transfer channels will not be accounted for. The total depopulation
rate would be the sum of all these rates.

Best,

Sergei

Hi,


Side-chain modeling consists mainly in the right choice of dihedral
angles, Xi i = 1,2,3 and 4. Bond lengths and bond angles stay (more or 
less) constant and can be taken from force field parameters.


Statistical studies establishing distribution of dihedral values in a 
subset of the PDB give rise to different rotamer libraries :

Thanks to Christoph and V. Mohan for replying to my question about distributed 
computing and autodock.  My original question with their replies are given 
below.

Robert

Question:
CCL Users,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to perform docking using
Autodock on a cluster of networked computers connected by a 10/100 ethernet.
I read that Autodock 3.0 was capable of running this way (J. Comput. Chem.,
1998, Vol 19(14):1639-1662), however, I may be mistaken. I have not been able
to find anything else about this capability of Autodock.

Has anyone ever been able to run Autodock like this, and if so, what is
involved? Must Autodock be installed on each processor?

I will summarize the responses to the list.

Thanks,

Robert

Replies:

assuming thast you have N ligands to dock and M computers at your disposal, 
and a NFS-mounted irectory from which you can run and all your input prepared 
(this is the hard part). Use something like the following csh script fragment:

@ count = 0
while ($count < N)
foreach computer ( insert your computer names here )
rsh $computer "script_to_start_autodock" filename$count
@ count = $count + 1
end
end

A real version will need some safeguards and other bells and whistles, but the 
basic logic is there. You really only need to control the execution of N 
autodock runs and make sure they all use the correct input and produce unique 
output files.

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi, 
Yes, it is possible to run in the mode you're talking about. 
I've seen some information to that effect, on a number of grid computing 
companies webpages. 
For example, you should check www.entropia.com 
Equivalent to SETI@home type projects, fight_AIDS@home [running Autodock on a 
massive number of 
PCs] have been documented.

Margret,

Not sure if you have already solved this problem, but just in case you
haven't....

If you use "Opt=z-matrix" and "nosymm" in your input then you should be
able to retain an initial orientation. However you will have to be
very careful in setting up your Z-matrix so that the coordinates you
are interested in are defined first.

dear venkataraman,

In order to convert pdb to mol2 and/or pdbq you can use VEGA software
(http://users.unimi.it/ddl) that is able to convert several file formats in
mol2 or pdbq assigning atomic charges and atom types.

Best regards

Giulio

just run different jobs on each processor. Much more efficient than
parallellizing AD. You can work on the same problem by starting all of
the jobs with a different random seed.

Hi,
Does anyone know the most time-economic way to convert frequency/intensity
data
> from the g98 output file into 2-column data set for the IR-spectrum picture?
Maybe some
script exists for getting two columns: X=freqs and Y=IR Inten?

I am using grep and then Excel for these conversions, but when the molecule
is getting bigger,
my Excel exercises  become very time-consuming.

Thanks

Dears CCL users,
I need a software capable to calculate the value of some properties ( like
electrostatic potential, IE,  and other) on molecular surface.
I need that the output of this program is a file in which the value for a
property is written for all molecular surface's points

Do you know something like this?

The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source Java library for 
structural chemo- and bioinformatics. It has a SMILES parser and a 
Structure Diagram Generator, which enables you to generate 2D 
coordinates for molecular graphs. The software with source code and 
documentation can be found under http://cdk.sourceforge.net

Feel free to email to cdk-devel@lists.sf.net if you need assistance with 
using the code.

Cheers,

Chris
