I have been working with steroid conformational analysis in connection
with receptor modeling. I have generated several (typically 100) structures
(conformers) for each steroid using DGEOM program. Now I need to pick out
those conformers that are unique. (DGEOM generated structures might converge
to same minimum upon minimization). Any ideas on how to do that using
commercial modeling software or other shareware programs?
   Also, how to run minimizations (for 100 or so structures) as a background
job, instead of having to read in each structure on to the graphics 
interface? I have access to Quanta, Cerius2 and Sybyl. Thanks a lot.

I have recently finished enhancing Spartan's conformational analysis
methods.  I have implemented four new methods, including an interface
to DGEOM which automates the process of generating conformers, running
the appropriate optimizations, removing duplicates that may result
>from the optimization, and finally calculating boltzman populations
based on the final conformers.  The other new methods that are
available, and are just as simple to use, are a simple systematic
search, a Monte Carlo search, and a Genetic Algorithm based search.

If you would like more information, send mail to sales@wavefun.com, or
directly to me.

Dear netters,

	I am doing eletronic structure studies of a small molecule. It has 
two conformers.  The ground states of them have different symmetries. One 
is pi-state, the other is sigma.  I suppose this happens to other molecules 
too.  Can anyone direct me to the references to the studies of the 
similar phenomina including the dynamics of the isomerization?  Many thanks!

Jing

	introduction of this basis it not so clear.
	Does anyone know how to do this, plase share your knowledge with me!.

Subject: Announce: New Mailing List of German Chemical Assocation 
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii



We are proud to announce a new mailing list of the
'Computer-Information-Chemistry' (CIC) specialist group of the
German Chemical Association (GDCh).
Subscribe by sending mail to

majordomo@eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de

with

subscribe gdch-cic

in the mail BODY.

The purpose of this list is to provide a discussion forum
for German chemists especially in connection with the upcoming scientific
information project in collaboration with the German physical, mathemathical
and informatics societies. The basic character of this list
is national (but nobody will be excluded) and the language German.

The new list does not intend to substitute or compete with the OSC chemistry
list. We recommend that questions and discussions of a general nature are
handled via the OSC list in order to benefit from the much larger knowledgeable
audience and to underscore the international character of science.

The following is the info file from the gdch-cic list:

***************************************************************************

Diese Mailing-Liste mit dem Namen 'gdch-cic'
befindet sich unter der Adresse
'eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de'
im Computer-Chemie-Centrum der Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg.

Sie ist ein elektronisches Diskusssionsforum der Fachgruppe
'Chemie Information Computer' (CIC) in der GDCh, der Gesellschaft
Deutscher Chemiker. Die Liste dient zur Zeit primaer als Koordinierungs-
und Austauschstelle zur Projektierung des Informationsprojektes,
das gemeinsam mit den Verbaenden der Physiker, Mathematiker
und Informatiker konzipiert wird.

Im Moment ist die Liste unmoderiert, d.h. jeder Bezieher
der Liste kann ungefiltert Beitraege hineingeben, die sofort
an alle Subskribenten weitergegeben werden. Auch die Mitgliedschaft
ist frei. Es nicht nicht zwingend notwendig, Mitglied der GDCh
oder der CIC zu sein, obwohl wir beides empfehlen. Wenn Sie
Mitglied der CIC werden wollen und bereits GDCh Mitglied sind,
schicken Sie bitte eine Nachricht an Prof. Gasteiger
(gasteiger@eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de), den Vorsitzenden der Gruppe.
Wenn Sie Mitglied der GDCh werden wollen, koennen Sie dies leider
noch nicht ueber elektronische Medien. Bitte fragen Sie einen
Kollegen, der Mitglied ist und Sie einfuehrt.

Da dies ein deutsches Forum ist, ist die bevorzugte Sprache
der Meldungen Deutsch. Bitte senden Sie Ihre Meldungen
an 'gdch-cic@eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de', nicht an 'majordomo'.
Die 'majordomo' Adresse dient auschliesslich zum An- und Abmelden
und fuer weitere Serviceleistungen. Benutzen Sie bitte eine
aussagekraeftige 'Subject:' Zeile im Mailheader. Vor diese
Zeile wird automatisch 'GDCH-CIC:' eingefuegt, so dass Meldungen
aus dieser Quelle leicht in den Mailboxen der Empfaenger zu finden
sind.

Zur Zeit werden alle Nachrichten archiviert. Wir koennen
keine unbegrenzte Aufbewahrung garantierten, aber es stehen
auf jeden Fall die Nachrichten der letzten Wochen fuer
Spaeteinsteiger zum nachtraeglichen Studium zur Verfuegung.
Um diese gespeicherten Nachrichten zu erhalten, schicken Sie
bitte das Kommando
'get gdch-cic aktuell'
im Hauptteil der Nachricht an 'majordomo@eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de'.

An die Liste angekoppelt ist ein Archiv aktueller Dokumente,
die die CIC betreffen, zum Beispiel Protokolle und Reports.
Eine Uebersicht erhalten Sie mit dem Kommando
'index gdch-cic'
im Hauptteil einer Nachricht an 'majordomo@eros.ccc.uni-erlangen.de'.
Auch diese Texte stehen Ihnen ueber ein 'get' Kommando zur Verfuegung.

Hi,

I am looking for programs to set up molecular dynamics simulations on
binary solvent mixtures. Any suggestions as to how to setup mixed solvent 
box and what is the best way to solvate a molecule with these binary solvent
boxes will be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me directly. 
Thanks in advance!  Yajun

Hi everyone,

Our Molecular Modelling Section is still relatively in its infancy and we are
looking to purchase some journals and books on the subject. 

I'm writing to ask if people could give me their opinions as to what they feel
are the most essential Journals that any Molecular Modelling (esp. protein 
modelling and drug design) group should have (the top 3-4 in terms of 
reputation and quality of science will do).  In addition if you could also let
me know of any similar books of use to the layman (explaining basic theory and 
practice) and also to the experienced modeller. 

It would be great if contact addresses of publishers etc could also be
supplied.

I will summarise if requested. Please Email me directly.

Thanks for your help,

Tosh.
