Thank you very much for your response to my question. 

I have found a little infomation about parabolic
fileds in the QSAR manual of Tripos' Sybyl 6.7. It
said that "Parabolic fields are those in which the
magnitude of a standard steric
and/or electrostatic field at each lattice point has
been squared; the original sign of the energy is
retained."

I am not sure about the meaning of parabolic fields.
It seems that the value of the parabolic fields is
only the squared value of Tripos standard fields. Why
the parabolic field could improve the quality of QSAR
model? 

Thanks again for your reply.

Regards,

Jinsong

Hi all,
I downloaded the PDB file for BPTI from protein data bank. I would like to add hydrogens on to it and finally run the dynamics in CHARMM.

Can anyone supply me a CHARMM input file for adding (building) Hydrogens to the
PDB files of BPTI?

Thanking you
Nihar

Hi all,
As far as I can tell, there hasn't seemed to have been (any need for?) a
diversity measure of protein host surfaces...but please let me know if I
am wrong.

Does anyone know of an example of a molecular diversity measure, based on 
molecular surfaces, being applied to an "anti-molecule" (i.e. the surface
of a binding site on a protein)? 

Or if not an example, at least a method that might be sensible to give
a try...

I shy away from simply applying a diversity measure to the binding domain,
as I would actually like to compare sites which are in very different
places on different proteins...

Many Thanks,
Maneesh

Hi all,
I was initially running with following crystal keywords:

 Crystal Define Cubic 24.850 24.850 24.850  90.0 90.0 90.0
 Crystal Build noperations 0

 and energy keywords :

ENERGY ATOM ELEC EWALD KAPPA 0.21  KMAX 4 KSQMAX 27 -
           CUTNB 10.0  CUTIM 10.0 CTOFNB 9.5  VDW SHIFT

 it was running fine.


 Now I have changed the energy section to the following:

 ENERGY ATOM ELEC EWALD KAPPA 0.21  KMAX 4 KSQMAX 27 -
           CUTNB 12.0  CUTIM 12.0 CTOFNB 10  VDW SHIFT

 and it is not running. (I have only changed cutnb and ctofnb, crystal
 section being the same).

FOR MORE DETAILS I am appending below the output error message:

Hi,

Protein-peptide interactions were investigated in the following paper. In
one case, the peptide was "cut" from an other protein, mimicking its loop.
---
Hetenyi and van der Spoel,
Protein Sci. 2002 11(7) 1729-1737.
---
Large peptides may cause trouble for the search engine, that is larger
ones with more than 15 free torsions...
Best wishes,
Csaba

Dear all,

I am trying to build the beta-cristobalite structure using the crysal
subroutine in the Tinker package, but it seems that it needs some Cartesian
coordinates file type as input file, I am little bit confused, what kind of
input file should it be? I mean in what format? has anyone have experience
in this? can anyone give me some details?

Thank you!!

Ru-Zhen
