Do you know if any of these codes have published their method?
I have a paper somewhere (I think it was actually Journal of
Mathematical Chemistry) that gives a method, but also gives me the
impression that a fully-general algorithm is non-trivial task. I'll
try to dig it up. In my OrderFour code, Ryan Lilien and I simply 
invented our own
tree-search method for doing this, but I have no proof of how
general it is ... certainly works on all the rings I have
encountered so far and also can find arbitrarily large rings.
Anyone is welcome to look at the code, it is C++. Just drop
me an email.

Hi CCL-ers

   I tried to optimize water cluster with 3 waters or even more
(4,5..). In order to keep the symmetric structure, I used the
symmetric input z-matrix as follow. But the result is not
symmetric. The input keyword is like:
# opt=(calcfc,gdiis,maxcycle=350) freq=noraman rb3lyp/6-311++g(d,p)
#scf(maxcycle=350)

Maybe I should use symmetric keyword, but I don't know how to use it.
Does anyone could help me about this. How to get the optimized
structure of water cluster. And how to use symmetric keyword.

Dear all,

I just began to use CIS to calculate excited states properties, such as 
state dipole moment, transition dipole moment and energy. But I am 
confused about how many occupied and unoccupied orbitals to 
choose when using CIS to calculate excited states. 

I had expected that if I include more orbitals, I should get closer 
result to the "true value". And when the number of orbitals is greater 
than some certain number, the result should not change much. But the 
calculation results showed great fluctuation when I include more and 
more orbitals. So what is the problem?

Really thanks a lot!

Best,
Jeny

Dear all,
I'm trying to compile some files in the $AUTODOCK/src directory on an
Irix 6.5.16m machine, using the gcc compiler, but I get this error
message:

% gcc -o addsol addsol.c
addsol.c: In function `main':
addsol.c:13: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'

The command line options are those suggested in the README file the
$AUTODOCK/src/addsol directory.
I tried the option "-O3" too, as suggested in a webpage, but the error
is the same.
The cc compiler, by other hand, says:

cc-1174 cc: WARNING File = addsol.c, Line = 14
  The variable "i" was declared but never referenced.

      int       i, j;
                ^
However, compiled files are produced and are executable in both cases,
but since this is first time I compile a code, I don't know if they are
reliable, and if the error message is critical or not.
Thank you in advice,
Stefano

MutDB - Functionally Annotated Mutation Database 
MutDB is a resource created to provide a researchers with computational
predictions of the underlying functional causes of disease-associated
mutations. Here we provide three resources for understanding how mutations
cause disease. First, we provide a server for the automatic prediction of
the functional importance of uncharacterized, inputted disease-associated
polymorphisms (Server). Second, we provide a database of mutations that have
been annotated using comparative genomics and protein structural
information, where available (Database). Finally, we also provide tools
we've developed that we find useful (Tools).

This web service was developed at Stanford University by Sean Mooney, PhD
and was funded through an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Jeny,

If this is for a semiempirical method I would use all possible excitations for
CIS.  For INDO/S, for example, the results can be strongly dependent on CI size,
and accuracy is usually improved by increasing CI size to the limit for larger
molecules.

For ab initio I would include all the excitations I could afford.

If there is a resource limit then one could correlate computed one electron
propertied with CI size and see where things seem to converge to a constant value.

Regards,

John McKelvey

Do you know if any of these codes have published their method?
I have a paper somewhere (I think it was actually Journal of
Mathematical Chemistry) that gives a method, but also gives me the
impression that a fully-general algorithm is non-trivial task. I'll
try to dig it up. In my OrderFour code, Ryan Lilien and I simply
invented our own
tree-search method for doing this, but I have no proof of how
general it is ... certainly works on all the rings I have
encountered so far and also can find arbitrarily large rings.
Anyone is welcome to look at the code, it is C++. Just drop
me an email.

Dear CCLers,

  I am working on a docking algorithm with a novel binding site
representation.  However, I do not wish to re-invent an intramolecular
forcefield for the peptides I am docking into my protein.  I am very
familiar with InsightII, which unfortunately does not allow me to use my
binding site model with their forcefields.  Does anyone have any
suggestions of free (or purchasable) software that might be more
compatible with my needs?
  Also, to circumvent this problem,  I tired to create a simple forcefield
with minimal atom types and only terms for bond stretching, angle bending,
torsion, and nonbonded interactions.  The difficult portion of this task
is finding the correct parameters for the torsion term.  I've searched the
literature and I seem to find either functional representations or
rotamers libraries, but I am unsure exactly how to combine these two
aspects to actually implement a working code.  Can you give me any
guidance and advice?
  Thanks so much for reading through my questions and I look forward to
reading your responses.

Catherine Cresson

                       Call For Papers

The Chemical Structure Association Trust and the Molecular Graphics and 
Modelling Society announce their Third Joint Sheffield Conference 
on Chemoinformatics.  The conference will be held in The Octagon Centre 
and Tapton Hall of Residence, University of Sheffield, UK,
> from 21st to 23rd April 2004. Offers of papers are welcomed in all 
aspects of chemoinformatics. Possible topics include (but are not limited
to): 

* High-Throughput Screening including: assay QC and its influence on data 
	mining; design of screening collections; systems based design

* Virtual Screening including: docking and pharmacophore analysis;
	similarity methods; clustering

* Computational Methods for Lead Identification and Optimisation
	including: structure-activity methods; structure-based design

* New Algorithms and Technologies including: machine learning algorithms; 
	data handling and visualisation

* Case histories incorporating any of the above

Authors wishing to submit a paper for consideration should 
send a title and abstract to Val Gillet (v.gillet!at!sheffield.ac.uk) 
by 31st October 2003. Submissions will be selected as either oral
contributions or posters by the Organising Committee. In selecting
papers for oral presentation we will seek to achieve a balance between
new methodologies and successful applications of methods. 
Further details of the conference and registration information will follow
later in the year and will be posted at cisrg.shef.ac.uk/shef2004.

Here is a very nice method to detect rings:

"Efficient Exact Solution of the Ring Perception Problem"
Renzo Balducci and Robert S. Pearlman
J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci.  1994, 34, 822-831

I use this approach in ArgusLab and it's proven to be efficient and robust.

Cheers,
Mark

Dear netters:

It is very usual to find papers where geometry optimizations
of medium and large molecules are performed with the=20
Hartree-Fock method using the 3-21G* basis set. And this is
reported as giving almost as good geometries as HF/6-31G*
in a fraction of time (see, for example, the excellent recent=20
book by Lewars). However, there are few examples in the=20
literature about doing DFT optimizations with 3-21G* (the same
book quotes that they are very unsual, but doesn't state why).
Is there any important reason for not using 3-21G* in DFT
geometry optimizations, specially with large molecules?=20
I have performed some calculations (very limited, of course)
and found that PBE1PBE/3-21G* gives geometries of similar
quality as PBE1PBE/6-31G*, in a third of CPU time.

Thanks in advance

                                       Dr. Daniel Glossman-Mitnik  =20
