Information about the following COMP programming topics are below: - COMP Symposia at the Denver ACS meeting - Graduate Student and Post Doc Image Contest - Organize a symposium within COMP in 2012 Thank you for your time Emilio Xavier Esposito Michael Feig Melissa Landon Jeffry D Madura Eric V Patterson Yufeng Jane Tseng Scott A Wildman The COMP Programming Board *COMP Symposia at the Denver ACS meeting* The COMP Programming Board has expanded the contributed presentation portion of the technical program for the Denver ACS meeting to include the following: _Standing Symposia_ - Bioinformatics - Computational Analysis of Spectroscopic Analysis - Drug Discovery (ADMETox, Ligand-based design, Methodology, and Target-based design) - Material Science - Membranes - Molecular Mechanics (Applications, Force Field Development, Methodology, and Proteins) - Quantum Chemistry (Applications, DFT, and Methodology) - Water _Awards_ - Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award - Hewlett-Packard Outstanding Junior Faculty Award _Special Topics_ - Challenges in Industrial Computational Methods (Cynthia Bancale & Jeff Grandy) - Cheminformatics Aspects of High Throughput Screening: From Robots to Models (Y Jane Tseng) - Computational Modeling of Photo-catalysis and Photo-induced Charge Transfer Dynamics on Surfaces (Dimitri Kilin & Ivan Mikhaylov) - Emerging Technologies in Computational Chemistry (Curt Breneman) - Mining Protein-Ligand Interaction Space (Veerabahu Shanmugasundaram & Mehran Jalaie) - Predicting and Disrupting Protein Interactions (Dmytro Kozakov, Sandor Vajda, & Ilya Vakser) - The Computational Chemistry Component of Battery Research (Bill Swope) The COMP technical program for Denver with descriptions can be found here: http://abstracts.acs.org/chem/242nm/meetingview.php?page=session&par_id=268 *Graduate Student and Post Doc Image Contest* One of the most powerful aspects of computational chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology is the ability to create stunning images of our work. Our images are able to explain complex ideas and allow non-computational scientists the ability to understand our research. To highlight this aspect of the computational science, the COMP Division of ACS is pleased to announce the Graduate Student and Post Doc Image Competition. _Criteria and Prize_ The COMP Programming Board will select the winning image and award the creator complimentary registration to that ACS National Meeting; a $180 value for Graduate Students and a $355 value for Post Docs. The image must be created and submitted by a Graduate Student or Post Doc that is a member of the ACS and the COMP Division. Additionally, the image must be original work and cannot have been used in a previous publication (e.g., article image, Table of Contents image, or journal cover image). Images are due by 5pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011. Please email your image to Emilio Xavier Esposito ( emilio.esposito||gmail.com ). The image must be 3 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall, at least 300 dpi, and a PNG, EPS, JPEG, or PDF. Only one image per submitter. The creator of the winning image will be notified by email no later than Tuesday, May 25th, 2011. * Organize a symposium within COMP in 2012* The COMP Programming Board is always looking for individuals that want to organize symposia and provides the framework and tools necessary to organize a great symposium. If you are interested in organizing a symposium for the 2012 national ACS meetings in San Diego (spring 2012) or Philadelphia (fall 2012) – or the 2013 national ACS meetings – please contact Emilio Xavier Esposito ( emilio.esposito||gmail.com ). This is an excellent opportunity for its members to organize symposia that are of interest to the scientific community. We are excited to receive your ideas for symposia.

I am trying to do a PES scan with Gaussian 09, without optimizing the structure. I am starting with a simple test case (propanol) but it does not work.

At some point of the output Gaussian says:
Scan the potential surface.
 Variable   Value     No. Steps Step-Size
 -------- ----------- --------- ---------
 A total of      1 points will be computed.


Here is my input file, which, I thought, should compute 36 energies:

The stepsize and number of steps should be in the same line as the variable, following the variable definition. So, for example, from the Gaussian manual, R1 1.41 3 0.05 means, that R1 should be scanned in three steps by 0.05. It works for me.... I believe in your case the last line is ignored and Gaussian simply calculates the energy of the input structure. Hope this helps Tobi From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Mon Mar 28 15:30:01 2011 From: "Nuno A. G.
