You can find probably some of the experimental IR spectra at 
http://webbook.nist.gov
For the visualisation and assignment of the results of the second 
derivative calculations made by Gaussian there are several utilities, my 
favorite is MOLDEN. (www.cmbi.ru.nl/molden/molden.html)

Hello,

I want to start an MD simulation of a silica particle of size 5-10 nm in aequous solution, possibly also with a few Na+ ions floating around. I have a sample PDB file containing the structure of a silica nanoparticle, and have tried to make a box containing the nanoparticle and some water molecules using the 'genbox' utility program of GROMACS.

The problem arises when defining the parameters which determine how the atoms will interact. Does anyone have a good set of general parameters for such a system ? I am aware of the the work of Wensink and Hoffmann [Langmuir 16, 7392 (2000)], but their scheme relies on a partitioning of the system into crystal, surface and water atoms and I do not know how such a partitioning could be done in my case so as to best use their parameterization.

I'm not 100% tied to using GROMACS (any freely available and capable MD code will do for some initial investigations). I would be grateful for any advice on alternatives.

My investigations are intended to look into the behaviour in solution of silica nanoparticles formed by polymerization in solutions of sodium silicates, including nucleation, growth, formation of charged nanoparticles (and consequently double layers) and the effect of solution pH on this process and the detailed effects on nanoparticle surface charge density. The list above is long, I realize, but I would very much appreciate some pointers on how to get started quickly into these investigations.

Many thanks in advance,
Steve Kirk

Hello CCLers,

I have used earlier ICM-Dock for the docking of some inhibitors.
Now my license has expired but I still have retained different files
comtaining the result of the dockings( eg. the *_answers.ob and
*_answers.cnf files). Is there any way to view these files using
ICM-Browser or ICM-Browser-Pro? I'm particularly intereseted in
geeting back the conformations and their binding energies.

Thanks in advance.
SR

Hello Uwe,

You may want to take a look at PASS (Putative Active Sites with Spheres).
Freeware executables are available at:
http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/pass/overview.html

Hope this helps,

Pieter
 
----------------

PASS (Putative Active Sites with Spheres) is a simple computational tool
that uses geometry to characterize regions of buried volume in proteins and
to identify positions likely to represent binding sites based upon the size,
shape, and burial extent of these volumes. PASS'S utility as a predictive
tool for binding site identification is tested by predicting known binding
sites of proteins in the PDB using both complexed macromolecules and their
corresponding apo-protein structures. The results indicate that PASS can
serve as a front-end to fast docking. The main utility of PASS lies in the
fact that it can analyze a moderate-size protein (~ 30 kD) in under twenty
seconds, which makes it suitable for interactive molecular modeling, protein
database analysis, and aggressive virtual screening efforts. As a modeling
tool, PASS (i) rapidly identifies favorable regions of the protein surface,
(ii) simplifies visualization of residues modulating binding in these
regions, and (iii) provides a means of directly visualizing buried volume,
which is often inferred indirectly from curvature in a surface
representation. PASS produces output in the form of standard PDB files,
which are suitable for any modeling package, and provides script files to
simplify visualization in Cerius2., InsightII., MOE., Quanta., RasMol., and
Sybyl.. PASS is freely available to all.

   One option that you can try is to use FADE-PADRE. It is freely

CCLers,

Could anyone point me to a source for code for doing NDDO calculations 
as originally first suggested by Pople, et al, i.e. using Stater-orbital 
based 2-e integrals, either over exact Slaters, or STO-3G fits to 
valence orbitals?  Has anyone created such a code using GAMESS or HONDO?

Regards,

John McKelvey

You should look up the work of SH Garofalini.
He has done extensive SiO2-H2O simulations.
I'm not sure if this force field is suitable for your
purposes, but it is the closest thing I've seen.

Dear CCLnetters,
Has anyone had experience with Crystal03? I've tried to run a system but I get error messages to the effect that:
(i) increase LIM007
(ii) neighbour list too big increase LIMBEC
Any idea how I can do this.
Futrther when I try to run a supercel I get an error message that 'file size limit exceed'. How can i increase the limit of the file size.
Waiting for an urgent response from any Crystal03 informed netter.

Best Regards,
Ojwang' JGO

Eindhoven University of Technology,
The Netherlands.

Hello,

Please forward the answers...we are interested by starting a similar problem 
(silicate planar surface in water + ions).
Many thanks,

Hello Uwe,

eHiTS (http://www.simbiosys.ca/ehits/) does calculate both the size (volume) 
and depth of all possible ligand binding pockets. This information is saved  
as intermediate info. One of the detected pockets is selected and used for 
docking later on in the program. 

Another tool, that provides visualization as well, is SPROUT, de-novo ligand 
design tool (http://www.simbiosys.ca/sprout/). The program analyses all of 
the binding pockets of a protein in it's cleft detection module. See 
description of the method here: 
http://www.simbiosys.ca/sprout/eccc/cangaroo.html

Thanks,
Regards,
Aniko

Hello,

Could someone on this list please suggest how I could obtain a
force-constant for a diatomic and triatomic molecule in eV/A^2 instead
of mDyne/A.  I am using Gaussian at the B3LYP/MP2 level.

Thanks,
Pradyumna

I am aware of the the work of Wensink and Hoffmann [Langmuir 16, 7392 (2000)], but their scheme relies on a partitioning of the system into crystal, surface and water atoms and I do not know how such a partitioning could be done in my case so as to best use their parameterization.
Which parameters are you referring to? Force field? I have recently
ported the Wensink et al. parameters to work with OPLS (in GROMACS).
Contact me off the list if you want the files.
