Dear all,

does anyone know of a program to produce variably-gaussian-broadened 
IR spectra from the output of a G98 frequency calculation. Viewmol 
2.3, which should have this facility, does not seem to accept my g89 
output files.

Thanks,

Hello, CCL folks:
    I am just starting to use Cerius2 and cannot figure out from the
manuals two points:
    1.) How can I resume a run, so as to have it append a continued
optimization on a structure that did not converge?
    2.) How can I select a structure from within a run and tell the resume
job to pick up and reoptimize that particular structure.
    I am working with Version 4.0.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Mary,

You'd have to be more specific about the tools from Cerius2 that
you use to optimize your structures. The answer will be different
for different energy servers in Cerius2 (force fields, quantum, etc.)

Probably because the accessibility of these residues to solvent is
low.  This tends to disfavor the charged states, and therefore lowers
pKint for Lys, and raises it for things like Asp and Glu.

This is almost certainly harmless.

People have done this both ways.  It can be argued that keeping
crystallographic waters is more "detailed", but on the other hand,
when the ionization state of a residue changes these waters may move
or reorient, and a calculation that regards them as having fixed
coordinates will not capture this.  A blob of high dielectric can at
least repolarize!  In my experience, ordinary protein residue pKa's
are not much improved by including crystallographic waters, and may
even get a bit worse.  However, for multivalent things like metal
centers, an explicit hydration shell helps, because the hydration
shell is tightly bound and a singe change change doesn't really
re-orient it so much.

My guess is it won't make so much difference, but why not try it all
three ways?
     
    CUI>      Here're the .summ file. Sorry for the lengthy

What is UNK?  I'll assume it's negatively charged.  It's delta self is
indeed quite big.  It may be deeply buried.  It's charge may be very
compact or large (-2?).  The delta self you get is rather typical of a
buried lysine.  Do UNK and Lys interact strongly?  (see the .g file)
If so, the favorable charge-charge interaction may stabilize the
charge pair in spite of the large delta self terms.  I've seen such
things happen, for example in bR (Spassov et al., 2001, JMB 312:203).

Yes, I did so, focusing to residue UNK, which is of my interest. It's
neutral and has one phenol group.

All three residues are inside of the protein with no solvent
accessibility.

One of the three is different from the other two. pkint is calculated
around 8. Very interesting ...

UNK is triclosan. It's neutral. The phenol hydroxyl hydrogen is
hydrogen-bonded to the TYR in hydrogen-added crystal structure. The LYS
is the only titratable group sticking inside of the protein. From the
great impact of hydrogen atoms of the LYS, I guess the same effect could
happen to UNK too. Here's the .g file. All terms are fairly small.
