Colleagues,

A symposium on molecular modeling related to Alzheimer's Disease will
be held at the 36th Central Regional American Chemical Society Meeting
in Indianapolis, June 2-4, 2004.  This is one of the larger regional meetings.

Topics of interest:  computational chemistry, molecular simulations,
docking, QSAR, etc., related to

amyloid peptides
beta-secretase
beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP)
presenilin
acetyl cholinesterase
etc.

Please let me know by October 15 if you are interested in presenting a
paper.

Hello,

PCM method (Gaussian) produce table of energies related to solvation
effects. The last entry is:

------------------------------------------------------
   DeltaG (solv)          (kcal/mol) =   .......
------------------------------------------------------

What is exact physical meaning of that energy ? Is it 'pure'
sovatation energy ?

Arturas Z.

Tal,

	PyMOL can do this kind of thing so long as you can uniquely
specify the atoms which make up each torsion you wish to set...

Usage: set_dihedral atom1, atom2, atom3, atom4, angle

Example: set_dihedral 11/ca, 11/cb, 11/cg, 11/cd1, 180

You could use a short Python loop to automatically adjust the torsion(s)
and then save the modified pdb files.  For example, the following
snippet:

> from pymol import cmd
for angle in (30, 65, 115, 40, 150): \
   cmd.set_dihedral("11/ca","11/cb","11/cg","11/cd1",angle) \
   cmd.save("mol_%d.pdb"%angle)

generates a set of 5 PDB files which you can then plug into some
external force-field minimizer.

Cheers,
Warren

Dear Colleague:

I am pleased to announce Bio-Rad's new software tool for teaching key concepts
in organic and analytical chemistry:  the Academic Edition of Bio-Rad's
KnowItAll(R) Informatics System.  The KnowItAll Academic Edition is available
by download at no charge for professors, other faculty and staff, and students
at degree-granting institutions (see website URL information below).  As the
winner of Scientific Computing & Instrumentation magazine's Reader's Choice
Award for Best Spectroscopy Software in 2001, 2002, and 2003, we proudly offer
this high quality teaching resource to the professors and students of
today--the professors and scientists of tomorrow.

The KnowItAll Academic Edition represents the combination of the renowned
Sadtler spectral data and software with the highly regarded ChemWindow software
(from the former Softshell company, now part of Bio-Rad).  The new program
includes:

- Applications for chemical structure drawing and reporting,
- A teaching version of the well-known Perch software for proton
  NMR spectrum prediction and simulation,
- Applications for processing NMR, IR, and Raman spectra, 
- Applications for IR and Raman spectroscopy functional group analysis, 
- The Sadtler Handbook of Infrared Spectra in a new web format, 
- An application for 3D structure creation and visualization,
- An application for symmetry and point group analysis, and
- Clipart for laboratory glassware and chemical engineering symbols.

I recently described the KnowItAll Academic Edition in two talks at the ACS
meeting in New York.  A recording of a recent webcast of these combined
presentations is available on our WebEx site at http://bio-radevents.webex.com
(please click on the "Recorded Events" link on the left).  The presentation
will give you ideas about how you can use KnowItAll to teach key concepts in
organic and analytical chemistry.

Please visit our web site at http://www.knowitall.com/academic to download your
copy of the KnowItAll Academic Edition--Bio-Rad wants to help you make each of
your students a KnowItAll in chemistry!
