Hi William,

You can add gaps in Composer simply by changing the boundaries of the SCRs
and the gap penalty -- perhaps you could try decreasing the gap penalty.

Dear CCl users,

I'm trying to calculate BSSE correction on van der Waals complexes

The program does not read the pseudopotential.

My input is:

# MP2/Gen Pseudo=read guess(core) massage 

Title

****
Heavy atom 0

..

am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr. Juhos

We have recently faced the same problem to present some of our results 
regarding the geometries of the genetically-encoded amino acids.
In view of the lack of specific IUPAC rules (to my knowledge) for the 
labeling of H atoms in the amino acids, we proposed a set of rule to 
label them uniquely based on their geometric location with respect to 
their neighbours.  You will find this set of rules in the Appendix to 
our following paper:

Matta CF, Bader RFW. Atoms-in-molecules study of the genetically-encoded 
amino acids. II. Computational study of molecular geometries. Proteins: 
Struct. Funct. Genet. 2002;48:519-538.

Hope this be of help.  

All the best.

There are new versions of both Qmol (a molecular viewer for windows) and 
PrestoPlot (a graphing/plotting program for windows)
available for download from the Shalloway Lab at Cornell University:

http://www.mbg.cornell.edu/shalloway/shalloway.html

Here are the improvements:

Qmol:

(1) Import multiple structures in a pdb file as a 
molecular trajectory (for animation)
(2) Read multiple structures/trajectories. Each structure can be
rendered and adjusted independently.
(3) Calculate the RMSD between two structures.
(4) Align two molecules by rigid-body translation and rotation.
(5) Measurement, hydrogen bond determination and RMSD calculation can 
all be performed in "real" time (i.e. move a molecule and watch dependant 
values change). 
(6) Numerous bug fixes!

PrestoPlot:

(1) Import and export audio data in the WAVE format.
(2) Numerous bug fixes.

While I am no longer at Cornell, I will support these programs
in my spare time. Bug reports and questions may be sent to 
jdg9@cornell.edu.

Jason Gans, PhD

Dear CCL,

I could not find a definitive guide how the hydrogens in PDB files should 
be called. There is an advisory with some IUPAC->PDB hints at 
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/lists/pdb-l/199907/msg00013.html , but I hope 
there is a concise on-line version somewhere since this list does not 
include nucleic acid residues I need. The article they are referring to

J.L.Markley, et al., "Recommendations for the Presentation of NMR Structures of Proteins and Nucleic Acids," Pure & Appl. Chem., 70 (1998): 117-142

is still a recommendation or an accepted standard? If you know an URL (or an article) that serves as the standard, please let me know.  Thanks:

Dear All,

Thank you for all the replies on H names, apparently for nucleic acids
(and likely for amino acids as well) the guideline is still the IUPAC

The CML (Chemical Markup Language) DTD which has been in use for 3 years 
has now been upgraded to conform to the W3C [1] specification for Schemas. 
All specifications and software are OpenSource/OpenData.

The basic chemical concepts of CML are not significantly changed and 
Version 1 will continue to be usable. There are several advantages to Schemas:
- the syntax of CML documents is considerably simpler and less verbose 
(e.g. the "builtin" attribute is no longer necessary)
- there is much stronger datatyping; elements can be validated against the 
Periodic tables and floats, integers etc are fully supported
- they support XML namespaces so designs can be modular
- modern XML software concentrates on Schemas rather than DTDs

This has allowed us to create a modular design with the following components:
- CMLCore which is reused by other modules
- STMML [2] which supports numeric data, scalars, arrays, matrices, 
dictionaries, metadata and experimental procedures.
(CML also interoperates with major W3C languages such as XHTML, MathML and 
SVG [3]. With these complete chemical documents (such as publications) can 
be created, queried, processed and rendered.

Several other modules are under active development
- Computational Chemistry Markup Language (CCML) whose first phase is being 
presented to a CLRC [4] meeting of early adopters from UK eScience projects 
this week. CCML will be run as an Open community activity to develop XML 
support for all aspects of Computational chemistry. We shall announce 
details of the mailing list very shortly.
- CMLReaction. CML already supports reactions and this functionality is 
being refactored and expanded into a separate module.
- CMLQuery. This is being built on the emerging XML Query language

CML modularity relies heavily on the creation of dictionaries and we are 
part of the IUPAC XML Dictionary project.

The CML and STMML Schemas can be found as XML, XHTML and PDF[*] at 
http://www.xml-cml.org and will also be posted in the repository at 
http://cml.sourceforge.net shortly.  The distribution contains many 
examples of CML and STMML which have been validated against the Schema with 
3 independent toolkits [5]. Several OpenSource projects have early 
implementations of CML2 including OpenBabel, BKChem, and JUMBO.

Carsten:

I am not sure that your statement is true as I really have little idea which is used more.  We use both.  The people looking at DNA tend to use Sybyl and the Protein people use InsightII.  But, that is more a result of what their mentors were accustom too.  I also think you will find that many publications use Amber, Charmm, or Macromolecule

However, from a money point of view, the initial cost of the software is greater for Insight (though this depends some on the modules your purchase) and a license for Sybyl is much less than for Insight (depending on the level of service, by 33-66%) and people who publish tend to come from an academic setting.  

Personally, I prefer to use Amber.  Amber does not have a 'graphical user interface' (ignoring xleap) but there are enough freeware or very low cost programs available to help you with analysis (eg vmd, moilview, curves, dials and windows, etc) that this is not a big problem.  In addition, Amber takes advantage of a multi-processor environment and it scales reasonable well.  And, if you are going to do anything out of the ordinary, in our experience, it has been easier to accomplish with Amber.  I also think that people have to understand what they are doing to a far greater extent with Amber, etc. which, in the long run, is a good thing.  Finally, I've found Tech service from Insight/Sybyl to be less than helpful with all but the most rudimentary problems.  The Amber_reflector, on the other hand, has answered nearly all of my questions, etc.

Hi folks,

for quite a while now, I am pondering about the folling: why is it that most of the modellers use Sybyl rather than InsightII? In most publications, people say in the methods section (or elsewhere) that they used Sybyl. I was told once that InsightII was more powerful, once you get to know it, but since I have never used Sybyl, I cannot really compare.
Maybe some of you could point out the advantages/disadvantages that you encountered when using either of the two programs.
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

Cheers, Carsten

Dear Carsten,
I had the chance to work with the 2 softwares during my Ph.D. and my =
post-doc and to my point of view both softwares are complementary:
Sybyl is really powerfull for the molecular modelling of small =
molecules. You can also perform CoMFA studies which is not possible with =
InsightII. Most of the docking tools use sybyl file format as input and =
output. Another big advantage is that Sybyl will be available on Linux =
in Q1 2003 so if you don't have a lot of money you should be able to run =
Sybyl on a good Linux-PC.
InsightII is more powerfull for the molecular modelling of the proteins =
(homology modelling). Nevertheless it seems that things are changing and =
I heard that improvment will be done in Sybyl to work more easily with =
proteins. Finally Accelerys provide a tool (Catalyst) which is really =
interesting for the development of pharmacophores and to perform =
pharmacophoric searches.
To summarize if you want to work especially with small molecules I would =
suggest Sybyl but if you are working only on proteins and you  are not =
at all interested by the molecular modelling of small molecules then I =
would suggest InsightII.
Best regards
Fred

Hi

Sorry for this question but something is bothering me for some time.

I have a RedHat 7.3 with GCC version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3
2.96-112). And even following, step by step, the GAMESS compilation manual
( readme.unix ), I can't  compile the program.

I receiving a message like this

======================== blas ==============================
Tue Nov 19 14:14:17 BRST 2002
g77 -c -O2 -malign-double -fautomatic -Wno-globals -fno-globals blas.f
g77: blas.f: No such file or directory
g77: No input files
unset echo
mv: cannot stat `blas.o': No such file or directory


For almost all steps.

I tried compile it, after generating the actvte.x with several commands,
and none of then worked ( they generate the actvte.x executable but it
didn't seem to work). I tried
g77 -o actvte.x actvte.f,
f77 -o actvte.x actvte.f,
gcc -o actvte.x actvte.f,

and the one indicated for linux
f2c actvte.f
gcc -o actvte.x actvte.c -lf2c -lm

( wich didn't work  at all even to generate the actvte.x, looks like I don
have f2c installed )

How can I fiz this problem?


Thank you for the patience

Hello Carsten,
=20
Unfortunately, I have not worked with Sybyl long enough to really =
understand its advantages. On the other hand, I have used InsightII and =
AMBER much during the past 2 years. I agree with Fred that Insight II is =
powerful for homology modeling and that Sybyl is very good for small =
moleules. The downside of Amber is of course that it uses command lines, =
not an interactive GUI. Still, I obtained very good models from Amber =
and InsightII (protein models that is!) and acceptable models in Sybyl =
(small molecules). The problem with Sybly is that its conformational =
searches for macrocyclic molecules still remains to be improved. When I =
finished my studies and started my new job, my first objective was to =
choose a modeling software (for small molecules) for which we would be =
able to make protein models for rational design down the line. We were =
looking for a cost effective software that would not require buying =
expensive computers (I was setting up the Molecular Modeling department =
for a new Biotech). Looking around, I came about MOE (Molecular =
Operating Environment) from the Chemical Computing Group (CCG Inc.) =
based in Montreal, QC. What is really interesting about MOE is that =
there is only one price for the entire package (it is not modular) and =
the price is VERY reasonable. Moreover, MOE runs on everything but MACS =
for the moment!!!!! So not only can you run it on a PC for cheap, you =
can also run it in windows if you cannot afford to hire a Linux =
administrator (check out =
http://www.bio-itworld.com/archive/071102/linux.html for a review about =
cost effectiveness of using Linux). There will obviously be some loss in =
computational power but it may be worth it ...
=20
Anyhow, MOE can perform everything from small molecule modeling to large =
proteins, docking, flexible alignments, etc. The only thing they are =
missing at the moment is a particular section to handle NMR data. It is =
very user friendly and can be very easy on the point and click side to =
get what you want (maybe just a littlle too easy sometimes!). I don't =
understand why MOE doesn't make it in these CCL archives because I know =
a several large pharmas that use it and love it, along with academic =
researches and undergraduate programs using it to teach molecular =
modeling techniques. With respect to price, performace, and flexibility =
of use, I (would like to) believe MOE will start taking a large segment =
of the industry. Moreoever, their supprt is extensive and rapid. Take a =
look at http://www.chemcomp.com for more details. The only disadvantage =
of MOE is that they haven't been around for a very long time and =
sometimes lack the vision of a molecular modeler, but they are keen to =
learn. MOE was developped by programmers, not molecular modelers so you =
can modify the entire MOE environment with a bit of programming skills. =
Moreover, I find interesting tools that were developed by CCG for model =
analyses (tools that I did not have the chance to discover in other =
programs if they exist). Needless to say, I'm convinced that MOE is a =
serious competitor to the other more traditional programs. On the other =
hand, I'll say the same thinig to you as a molecular modelre at =
Pharmacia told me: "... not one program can perform everything you need =
which is why you need them all ;o)" . MOE on the other hand, comes close =
to completeness in my opinion ... I haven't had to get other programs =
yet (I've had it for 9 months).

publications, people say in the methods section (or elsewhere) that they =
used Sybyl. I was told once that InsightII was more powerful, once you =
get to know it, but since I have never used Sybyl, I cannot really =
compare.
Maybe some of you could point out the advantages/disadvantages that you =
encountered when using either of the two programs.
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

long enough=20
to really understand its advantages. On the other hand, I have used =
InsightII=20
and AMBER much during the past 2 years. I agree&nbsp;with Fred that =
Insight II=20
is powerful for homology modeling and that Sybyl is very good for small=20

not an=20
interactive GUI. Still, I obtained very good models from Amber=20
and&nbsp;InsightII (protein models that is!) and acceptable models in =
Sybyl=20
(small molecules). The problem with Sybly is that its conformational =
searches=20
for macrocyclic molecules still remains to be improved. When I finished =
my=20
studies and started my new job, my first objective was to choose a =
modeling=20
software (for small molecules) for which we would be able to make =
protein models=20
for rational design down the line. We were looking for a cost effective =

that would not require buying expensive computers (I was setting up the=20
Molecular Modeling department for a new Biotech). Looking around, I came =
about=20
MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) from the Chemical Computing Group =
(CCG=20
Inc.) based in Montreal, QC. What is really interesting about MOE is =
that there=20
is only one price for the entire package (it is not modular) and the =
price is=20
VERY reasonable. Moreover, MOE runs on everything but MACS for the =
moment!!!!!=20
So not only can you run it on a PC for cheap, you can also run it in =
windows if=20
you cannot afford to hire a Linux administrator (check out <A=20

<DIV><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN=20
class=3D468360314-19112002>Anyhow, MOE can perform everything from small =

thing=20
they are missing at the moment is a particular section to handle NMR =

very user friendly and can be very easy on the point and click side to =

you want (maybe just a littlle too easy sometimes!). I don't =
understand&nbsp;why=20
MOE doesn't make it in these CCL archives because I know a several large =
pharmas=20
that use it and love it, along with academic researches and =
undergraduate=20
programs using it to teach molecular modeling techniques. With respect =
to price,=20
performace, and flexibility of use, I (would like to) believe MOE will =
start=20
taking a large segment of the industry. Moreoever, their supprt is =
extensive and=20
rapid. Take a look at <A=20
href=3D"http://www.chemcomp.com">http://www.chemcomp.com</A>&nbsp;for =
more=20
details. The only disadvantage of MOE is that they haven't been around =
for a=20
very long time and sometimes lack the vision of a molecular modeler, but =
they=20
are keen to learn. MOE was developped by programmers, not molecular =
modelers so=20
you can modify the entire MOE environment with a bit of programming=20
skills.&nbsp;Moreover, I find interesting tools that were developed by =
CCG for=20
model analyses (tools that I did not have the chance to discover in =
other=20
programs if they exist). Needless to say, I'm convinced that MOE is a =

competitor to the other more traditional programs. On the other hand, =
I'll say=20
the same thinig to you as a molecular modelre at Pharmacia told me: "... =
not one=20

MOE on the other hand, comes close to completeness in my opinion ... I =

Dear netters:

I have the following problem trying to make G98 run in paralell
with LINDA:

I have built a LINUX Clusters with four nodes. I have compiled
G98 with Portland Compiler on Red Hat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7.10)
and it runs smoothly.

I purchased Linda. It is Rev. 5.0. Linux binary. It came as a=20
.rpm file, so I tried to open with no luck. The rpm file says that
it is for RH 5.1 to 6.0. Suspecting that I have received an older
version, I went to the SCA web page and I downloaded the latest
trial version available. I tried to rpm this file but with no luck
again. The file is labelled as for RH 7.1.

Thus, my questions are:

* Is there anybody who has built a Linux Cluster with RH 7.2
and been lucky running G98 with Linda ?

* Is there any problem with RH 7.2 for paralell computations
 and should I install RH 7.1 ?

* Why the rpm file can't be open with rpm in order to install LINDA?



Any suggestions will be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

Dear ccl users,

We are interested in giving our undergraduate students a new course titled "computer methods in chemistry" or "chemistry and computer". In this course , we want the students to use the computer in all the fields of chemistry.

It is not exactly a computational chemistry or molecular modeling course rather than using computers in chemistry and the molecular moldeling will be one of the experiments .

The course will be one lecture a week plus one lab. (3 credit hours)

Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Dr. Omar Deeb

Alquds University
