Dear all,

I would like to give acknowledgement to Matt Thompson,
Jamie Platts, Michel Petitjean, Fabien Fontaine, and
Fedor Goumans for their kindly response to my
question.

Here is my summary:

http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/support/csd_doc/volume1/z1c07076.html

 or 

http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/support/csd_doc/started/gs-appendix-5.html

the data from A. Bondi (1964) "van der Waals Volumes
and Radii" J.Phys.Chem. 68, 441-451, are summarized.
If the elements you need are not among those data, you
could check S. S. Batanov (1999), J. Mol. Structure,
468, 151-159, where theoretical and experimental data
are given for almost all elements.

	This is an amendment of my previous message. Perhaps 
the recommendation of the 6-31+G(d,p) as the minimal basis 
set to use is too strong and not always pragmatic. My 
experience is that the '+' can improve accuracy significantly
for characterization of the potential surface of 
floppy radical structures. But diffuse functions can also 
create convergence difficulties. For calculation of 
the equilibrium structures of more 'usual' type of molecules 
I think it would be fine to begin with 6-31G(d,p).

Wai-To Chan 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,,
I used the xalpha/3-21g method for geometry optimization
of LARGE molecules in the past and got some decent results. But 
sto-3g and 3-21g won't be a good choice for reliable thermochemistry 
calculation with Hybrid DFT method like B3LYP. Use a basis set at least 
as large as 6-31+G(d)/6-31+G(d,p). The inclusion of '+' can make a difference. 
You may refer to 

   J. Phys. Chem. A, (2003) vol 107 pg 1384-1388 by Lynch, Zhao and Truhlar

for an assessment of the accuracy of the MPW1PW91/6-31+G(d,p) method.

Dear all,

I am a newbie to Tripos's Sybyl, thus I have some
questions about CoMFA. Would you like to give me a
hand? Thanks in advance!

I have more than two hundred compounds that I hope to
carry out CoMFA in order to establish a QSAR model. I
am going to divide the large data set to two parts,
one for training, and the other for validation.

The first question is whether the alignment should be
done with a whole data set or with two separated data
sets (i.e. training and validation data set).

The second question is what are the alignment rules.

The third question is how to improve the Q2 or r2.
Because the data set includes compounds with a
diversity of structure, I hope to find a way to
distinguish which are the outliers.

Thank you very much for your consideration on this
matter!

Best regards,

Jinsong

Dear CCLers,

We have run into an anomoly using the ifc compiler with optimization. When
builing the code we've been using to benchmark, we've used the various
optimization flags, with the following results (numerical result and runtime):
-O0:    6.710886E+07  (21.960u 0.020s 0:22.19 99.0%)
-O1:    1.718282E+08  (17.560u 0.010s 0:17.76 98.9%)
-O2:    1.718282E+08  (17.550u 0.010s 0:17.74 98.9%) 
-O3:    1.718282E+08  (17.580u 0.000s 0:17.75 99.0%)
-O4:    1.718282E+08  (17.570u 0.000s 0:17.75 98.9%)
The 0 level optimization is clearly inconsistent, and far larger than
round off. This has been checked on multiple machines (all linux). 

Has anyone run into this before? Is there a known problem with this level,
or is something else going on? 

The very simple code we've used for checking the compiler is
below: 
PROGRAM tyme
  IMPLICIT NONE
  REAL :: sum
  INTEGER :: i
  INTEGER, PARAMETER :: imax = 100000000
  sum = 0.0
   DO i = 1, imax
      sum = sum + DEXP( DBLE(i)/DBLE(imax) )
  END DO 
  write(*,*) sum, i
END PROGRAM tyme

Thanks for your time!
	Caroline

Caroline,

There is nothing wrong with ifc in this case - your program is badly
broken, and should not be relied upon to produce -any- definite
answer. You are trying to accumulate numbers, which deviate from
one in the 7-th decimal digit. However, you chose to use a type
(REAL), which is only accurate to 6-7 decimal digits. Obviously,
you should not expect to get any significant digits in the result.

With optimizations turned on, ifc carries the accumulation at
higher 80-bit precision (which is arguably allowed by the standard),
which -accidentally- leads to a result close to the mathematically
exact value.

If you change your SUM to DOUBLE PRECISION, you will get the answer of
171828183.705001 as an answer for ifc -O0 - which is reasonably close
to the formal result of 171828183.705045439197452888531281012...

Incidentally, if you try to use this loop for timing purposes, this
is not necessarily a good idea - a sufficiently smart compiler
could realise that the exact result is given by:

 (E - 1) E**(1/100000000)
 ------------------------
  E**(1/100000000) - 1

and completely eliminate the loop.

Subject: Chimera molecular modeling system

The UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics
is pleased to announce the newest release of UCSF Chimera, an
interactive molecular modeling system.  It is free to academic and 
non-profit users and is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, IRIX,
and Tru64 Unix.  It can be downloaded from http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera

Chimera has the capabilities common to many molecular graphics programs,
as well as a number of more unique features, including:

   - Display of multiple sequence alignments and associated
     structures, with information flow in both directions

   - Atom-type identification within arbitrary molecules

   - Hydrogen-bond identification using crystallographically-derived
     distance and angle criteria

   - Display of 3-dimensional data sets as contour surfaces or
     transparent solids, with interactive threshold adjustment

   - Playback of molecular dynamics trajectories (AMBER format;
     others forthcoming)

   - Interface to facilitate screening of candidate ligands from
     DOCK, including filtering by number/position of hydrogen bonds

   - Extensibility as a design principle, allowing users to create
     custom modules without changing Chimera code

Further description of Chimera's features can be found at
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera

Best on your description on your data, you should try
something different rather than CoMFA. Also one
important thing that you need to check is to make sure
that all you data are collected in the same
experimental condition, at least for the same set.

Thanks to all of you who spotted the flaw in our benchmark code -- turns
out that the compiler is fine, and we missed something obvious. Thank you
all for your help!

"IC50", in *this* context, means indeed "concentration of compound that inhibits
the growth of uninfected cells by 50%."  It is essentially the toxicity of the
compound (for uninfected, i.e. healthy cells).  The categorization of anti-HIV
activity (CI, CM, CA) is derived from the *combination* of the IC50 and EC50
(cell-protection) curves:  Only if the antiviral activity of the compound sets
in at a substantially lower concentration than the toxicity can the compound be
termed active in the cell-based assay, otherwise you're just killing the cell.
That's why, indeed, you cannot categorize the compounds by IC50 alone.

A bit more information on this, including some references, can be found at
http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/docs/aids/aids_screen.html.

Hope this helps,

Marc
