I am also interested in the same kind of database, mainly molecules where
some of the descriptors (100-200) are calculated and the real actual
activity/Soluability/permiability is maybe measured in the laboratory.

Would be very interested from any links.

Thx,

A public discussion in this list should be nice, and standards may
emerge from it. I do not believe that an universal format is possible
(too many situations), and the molecular models should be defined
before specifying any practical format.
Being a user, the first requirement that I propose is to define
one or several parameters specifying which kind of information
follows (including a release parameter). Then, a set a models
should be defined: chemical graph only, 3D only, chemical graph
plus one or more 3D, and so on... A list of widely accepted
bond types should be welcome. Some other problems: unknown atoms
or bond types, free sites for connectivity, Markush (i.e. generic)
formulas for reactions or patents, superatoms, polymers (how
many units), alloys, coefficients for components, and so on
(there are indeed much more complicated situations).
It is clear for me that specialists of chemical data banks are
able to do many useful suggestions in this area. Computational
chemistry and modeling applications have their own requirements,
and there are many others. But nothing will end before beginning.
Last remark: any programmer should be able read and write molecular
formats (think also to read backward in large databases), without having
to pay amounts of euros or dollars to get black box routines provided
by companies (think to the catastrophic situation on Windows PC).

Dear CClist,

Two questions regarding visualisation of data, before I immerse 
myself in rendering or maths toolkits unnecessarily:

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

1) 
I have data sets of molecular fields of the form (Xn,Yn,Xn,Pn)
(property calculated by QM at various descrete cartesian co-ordinates)
that I'd like to visualise, preferably in 3D/stereo with at the
very least colour coding of points. 3D interpolation and isocontour 
surfaces would be a bonus. I have tools (Golpe, InsightII) 
for handling formatted chemical data so long as it is grid-based. 
Problem is that I'd rather not work on a rectangular grid --
the points are expensive to calculate, and not many small
molecules have a cubic skeleton. 

So I'd like a general solution for arbitrary points P(X,Y,Z), in any order.
It need not necessarily be chemistry-related to software; 
could be sourced from any discipline that needs this sort of 
3D(4D) visualisation, though being able to visualise a molecule 
simultaneously would be nice. 
n (number of points) is only going to be in the 100s-1000s.

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

2) (much easier)
Can someone recommend me a favourite tool for converting QM spectral
intensity data (IR,VCD,UV,nmr,etc.) from e.g. Gaussian (+ reformatting if
necessary) into something that looks convincingly like a spectrum 
to a spectroscopist, using e.g. Lorentzian curves?

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

Platform preference: IRIX would be ideal for the 3D, and a windows.exe 
solution for either would be last resort only.

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

Excel does multiple linear regression with the LINEST function (from
the Insert:Function menu). It isn't obvious that it will work from the
description. I can fax you (and everyone else who is interested) the
pages from our lab-manual that explains the procedure.

In reading your request, I noticed that you need to impose
constraints. To apply constraints, use the Solver add-in.

NOTE: LINEST is a linear regression method (analytical solution)
whereas Solver is a non-linear algorithm (numeric). Solver can, and
does, converge to local minima.

Hi all

I promised a summary of responses to my query: "Does anyone have any
experience that they would be willing to share of tools for HTS data
analysis, particularly those that aim to help in the analysis of
(qualitative) SAR?".

Thanks to all who responded.

David Clark

SUMMARY
****************************************************************************
***********************************

Dear David,

We used the ClassPharmer suite of programs (http://www.bioreason.com) for 
analysing HTS or virtual screening data.
It presents the advantage to cluster compounds by chemical scaffolds which 
are calculated on the fly. On the defined classes, you can perform various 
statistical analyses (e.g. scaffold enrichment, score distribution) for 
detecting false positives. The software can be downloaded from the 
Bioreason web site and used for a short evaluation.

Dear Dr. Clark,

may we draw your attention to the program SONNIA (formerly KMAP), which
could be applied to the analysis of data from high-throughput screening
by using neural networks?

The method of using neural networks for the classification and
prediction of biological activity and physicochemical properties (QSAR
and QSPR) was described in several publications, among these are:
* J. Sadowski, M. Wagener, J. Gasteiger, Assessing Similarity and
Diversity of Combinatorial Libraries by Spatial Autocorrelation
Functions and Neural Networks, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 34,
2674-2677 (1995)
* M. Wagener, J. Sadowski, J. Gasteiger, Autocorrelation of Molecular
Surface Properties for Modeling Corticosteroid Binding Globulin and
Cytosolic Ah Receptor Activity by Neural Networks, J. Am. Chem. Soc.,
117, 7769-7775 (1995)

The program SONNIA was developed to meet the needs of chemists, as it
provides many features for the visualization of chemical data.
For more information about this program please visit our websites at
http://212.168.36.43/software/sonnia/index.html .
We would be glad to provide you with an evaluation copy of SONNIA free
of charge for a test period of three months.

Hope this helps,

Dear David,

May be the molecular modeling package of CCG called MOE might be of help.
It offers a nice binary QUASAR tool which is especially designed for HTSSAR
data.
May be you would like to check out the webpage: http://www.chemcomp.com/
There they have also publications for more details.
Also, they offer a 3 month evaluation period of their software.

Hi David,

Pharma Algorithms has developed the Algorithm Builder package
for building high-throughput screening algorithms using
SAR analyses based on recursive partitioning as well as fragmental methods.

I'll spare you the lengthy sales pitch and just point you to the link:
http://www.ap-algorithms.com/algorithm_builder.htm
and
http://www.ap-algorithms.com/qsar_builder.htm
Please note that Algorithm Builder contains all features of QSAR Builder.
QSAR builder has numerous tools for SAR, QSAR and QSPR analysis.

In most cases we will make evaluation copies available to interested users
for a 45-day period.
We make available a six-chapter tutorial that walks the user through the
software
using real data sets.

Also, the following page contains PDF files of scientific posters we have
presented in 2002
showing how SAR was used by our scientists in building algorithms for
Human Intestinal Permeation (qualitative filter) PGP substrate specificty
(qualitative)
and Acute Toxicity (qualitative and quantitative) among others:
http://www.ap-algorithms.com/presentations.htm

Let me know if you need any more information. I would be happy to oblige.

Yes, chemistry file formats could be quite complicated and right now we
have a lot of formats for specialized tasks. (e.g. ChemDraw or ISIS files
for publication, CIF files for crystal results, PDB files, Molfiles, Sybyl
Mol2, not to mention the slew of computational packages with their own
formats.)

The approach many of us have used in the past is to use translators like
babel to convert from one format to another. Some data, unfortunately,
might be lost, and some might have to be guessed (e.g. perception of bonds
> from an XYZ file).

This is exactly the point of projects like Open Babel. Read and write as
many formats as possible with as little data loss as possible.
<http://openbabel.sourceforge.net/>
(Disclaimer, I'm a developer for OB. It's still a work in progress, but
 improving rapidly.)

Unfortunately, some file formats are entirely black boxes, completely
without documentation. Not much can be done here unless there's enough
pressure on companies to open their formats. Some, like MDL, have open
standards, and this is wonderful. The rest either require reverse
engineering or customer support/feedback to do open their formats.

(IMHO, I think documented formats is entirely in the spirit of sharing
scientific information.)

I don't know if it's "impossible" to have one unified chemical file
format, but it would certainly need to be very flexible. That's certainly
the aim of CML, which may not be "perfect" yet, but seems quite useful.

Hi,

And a second question for today.
I am generating a pdb file with InsightII (MSI software) and I am trying
to read it in amber (leap). However it seems that there is
quite a difference between the ways InsightII writes a pdb file and what
amber knows to read. I am not sure but the main difference seems to be
that InsightII is writing the pdb file using Brokhaven nomenclature while
amber needs the IUPAC names.
I am sure this is a frequent encountered problem and that there should be
simple ways around. I tried to use babel and WHAT IF to correct for the
differences but both failed.
I would appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Ioana

Hi,

THanks for your reply. I've already tried to use the protonate utility in
amber by removing the hydrogens from the structure and letting the program
add them back. The problem seems to be in the names of the heavy atoms,
they seem to be incompatible as well.

Hi,

I have a more general question and I've tried to look it up in the archive
but I could not really get something similar. So here it is:

My question relates to adding ions when simulating a large protein system.
The experiments were performed using an ionic solution with a 1M
concentration and with an applied electric field. I was wondering what is
the usual approach in this kind of simulations: to bring the ion
concentration close to the physiological number, for example?
Also the solution is one of KCl so when adding ions would it be required
to add in equal amounts both K+ and Cl-?

I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you in advance,
Ioana

For converting pdb files for input to Amber, use the 'protonate'
utility.  It's under Miscellaneous in the Amber 7 manual.  We
recently found that using this very simple translator got rid
of all sorts of problems reading Brookhaven pdb files.  I hope
it works for your InsightII files (which I have no experience
with).

Hello everybody.


I want to use the PCM solvent model to calculate the structure of THF in 
N,N-dim
ethylformamide (DMF). IN gw98 manual, I should input the dielectric 
constant and 
solvent radius. However, there are different values of DMF radius in 
literatures,
 which one is best in this calculation? And how to sepcify a solvent not 
list in 
G98 when input?

Thank you for your information.

Xpxuan
