Subject: Amber force field parameters
X-Mailer: <PC Eudora Version 1.4>


I have been attempting some molecular mechanical calculations using the 
AMBER force field utilizing the Hyperchem software on the small molecule 
flavin mononucleotide within certain flavoproteins.  Attempts to perform 
these calculations while including the FMN cofactor generates a series of 
error messages due to the lack of parameters within the amber89 force field 
parameter sets, my most recent set.  Does anyone have values for the 
following bonds, bends, angles or can you tell me how to estimate them?  
Also, I am somewhat confused about the correct atom type assignment for the 
carbon atoms for the central pyrazine ring of the isoalloxazine ring.  
Should they be CA, CB or CM?  (The following parameters would be needed for 
the CM atom type for the carbon atoms bridging the pyrazine and pyrimidine 
rings and the CA atom type for the carbon atoms bridging the o-xylene and 
pyrazine rings as Hyperchem assigns them.) Thanks for the help.

Stretch parameter for:
type NC-CM
type CA-N*

Bend parameter for:
types NC-CM-CM
types NC-CM-N*
types NC-CM-C
types NC-CA-CA
types CA-NC-CM
types CA-CA-N*
types CA-N*-CM
types CA-N*-CT

Torsion parameter for:
types C-NC-CM-CM
types C-NC-CM-N*
types C-CM-NC-CA
types CA-CA-N*-CM
types CA-CA-N*-CT
types CM-CM-NC-CA

Hello, everyone!

Last week I put forward the query for references of calculation of LogP 
and I got a few of very helpful answers. I should thank all who have 
given their kind hands. Here is the summary.

Regards,

Arthur Wang

************************SUMMARY OF CALCULATION OF LOGP***********************

Piece One:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: vis@gensia.com

In response to your enquiry: There have been two recent comparisons of 
available methods. 

(i) Viswanadhan et al, J. Comp. Chem. (1993) 14, 1019-1026.

(ii) Moriguchi, I., et al Chem. Pharm. Bull., (1994), 42, 976.

A critique of the second review has also been published.

Leo, A. J., Chem. and Pharm. Bull., (1995), 43, 512.

After the pioneering work of Hansch and Leo on substituent constants for 
'Log P' (or lipophilicity), there have been several atttempts to develop 
methods simpler (such as the use of 'atomic' fragments, pioneered by 
Ghose and Crippen) and more complex (using information from Quantum 
Chemical calculations, such as the BLOGP method developed by N. Bodor and 
associates). Rekker's work on lipophilicity is highly notable as well. 
References for all these works may be found in the two references given 
above. We have developed the 'atomic' method much further, which is as 
yet unpublished. I believe several software companies are also developing 
newer versions & approaches and I am sure you will hear from them.

	Here you will find enclosed some references on the calculation
of Molecular Lipophilicity Potentials based on the atomic partition of
the total molecular LogP contribution.

Piece Five:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: MARTIN@cmda.abbott.com

I'll just send some names, probably you have seen the articles:

Leo, Al; Rekker; Ghose & Crippen; Moriguchi; Klopmann; Brinkman--JCICS 
recently; maybe unpublished but the QM people doing solvation test their
model on logP--C. Cramer, Klampt (COSMO program), Tim Clark; I hear that
the Wavefront people have a model; Darvas in a CompuChem module; . . .
