                      C A L L   F O R   P A P E R S

           ONE DAY SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY
                      AND MOLECULAR DESIGN

                             at the

               6th Asian Chemical Congress(6ACC)
                        22-25 May 1995
               Phillipine Village Airport Hotel
                     MANILLA, PHILLIPINES

The symposium will cover research in computational chemistry, molecular design
and bio-organic chemistry.  The symposium will follow a similar format to that
of the successful computational chemistry symposium held at the 5th Asian
Chemical Congress in Kuala Lumpur in 1993.  Papers discussing research
conducted
in any of these broad areas are now requested by the Symposium convenor.
Further information on the 6ACC can be obtained from the

     6ACC'95 Secretariat,
