My name is Sanja Tomic and I am
research assistant on Rudjer Boskovic Inst., Zagreb, Croatia.
I am using program GAMESS for ab initio calc.
I am working with biologically important
molecules, and I would like to determine the
partial atomic charges using program CHELP.
I would like to know if it is 
compatible with GAMESS and how I 
can get it.

Regards
 		Sanja

Dear netters,

	Does anyone know such a conformation search procedure that optimizes
h-bonding and stack effects in torsion angle space before including vdW forces
between individual atoms?  I thought that multiple minima problem was largely 
due to small but many interatomic vdW interactions and one might be able to 
get rid of that problem with such procedure.  I notice that P.M.Dean's group 
did some work on search of h-bond sites on proteins.  The self-consistant 
electric field (SCEF) method minimizes elestrostatic energy before including 
anything else.  any other methods closely related?

	Thank you very much in advance! 

	BTW, I did not get much reply to my DFT qeustion.  I widen the question
a little bit: any refernces of DFT studies on excited states? ( Or impossible?
I thought it was possible, but maybe not spin-pure.)

Note to all those interested....
 Digital will have an Alpha PC, an Alpha workstation and
a 2100 Server at their booth.  Those who would like to
'test drive' some programs etc should bring the programs
on 4mm DAT tapes although there is a 3.5" diskette drive
on the Alpha PC.  Windows/NT will be available on the
PC and server while OSF will be on the workstation.
  Take care... see you on Saturday!

Subject: Prelimary announcment of ELECTRONIC COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY CONFERENCE


        PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE FIRST 

           COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY

            ELECTRONIC CONFERENCE

As part of a project to explore the use of the Internet for 
distribtuing chemical information, sponsored by the 
Henry and Camille Dreyfus Foundation, we wish to announce 
the first Computational Chemistry Electronic Conference.

This is just a preliminary announcement to get people thinking of
the possibilities of an electronic conference and inspire them
to contribute and participate. The full announcement will appear
in June, 1994, with abstracts due Sep 30, 1994. The Conference
will take place during the first two weeks of November 1994.

The conference will feature papers in any area of computational
chemistry. This includes electronic structure, conformational
analysis, QSAR, drug design, molecular dynamics, and molecular
mechanics, but is not limited to this small list.

A critical feature will be the ability of all registrants to view 
the papers, including text and graphics. To facilitate this process,
the conference will be run using the World Wide Web (WWW) and the 
Mosiac viewer. The WWW is a hypertext-based file retrieval system.
It operates using the HTML (hypertext markup language protocol) to
format text and allow for imbedded graphics. More details
on preparing HTML papers and providing for their universal
access will be in the full announcement. To encourage participation,
we suggest that everyone who is not familiar with WWW obtain the
Mosaic viewer. Mosaic was developed at the NCSA in Urbana. It can
be obtained from the NCSA by anonymous ftp to ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu and
looking in the Web directory. However, getting into the NCSA ftp
site has become difficult, so we have the Mosaic program available
for many computer systems (Unix boxes including SGI, Sun, DEC, and 
IBM), Macintosh, and Windows) on our anonymous ftp site at
hackberry.chem.niu.edu and look in the /pub/Mosaic directory.
You will notice that there are some other utilities available 
besides Mosaic. These include viewers for examining graphics and
movies. Mosaic will launch these programs as needed to view graphics
and movies. One other note is that most of these codes have been
compressed. The unix codes have been compressed with gzip, which is
available in the /pub/Mosaic/Unix/utilities directory. The Mac
versions have been binhexed and stuffed using Stuff-it. The 
Windows versions have been compressed by pkzip which is also onsite.

We encourage you to test out the great power and ease of use of Mosaic
and the WWW, and then to participate in the conference this
November. More information will be forthcoming!

I wonder if anybody knows ab inito software that 
can study the surface reconstruction of HgTe 
surface. I usually use Gaussian 92, but it seems
that it can't handle periodic boundary condition.
Are there any other software?

Might I point out the following URL. This is actually a formal paper
submitted to
J Chem Soc, Chem Commun by Ben Whitaker (originator of the world's first
chemistry www server in late 1992), Mark Winter and myself,
discussing in depth the novel features that WWW offers
to chemists. I should make it clear that the copyright resides with the
RSC, and this is
not a formal contribution to the CCEC. I should also make clear that the
referees have
not yet formally commented on this paper!

(PS We have experienced our SECOND Barracuda disk failure on this server in
a month.
Expect some down time!)

If you want to see how conferences have been organised by this means, take
a look at
http://www.cern.ch/WWW94/

Is anyone on this mailing actually going to WWW94? I am just wondering
whether the
chemistry workshop will have anyone other than me attending?
