Hi, CCLers,

Last week I put forward the question "How to convert 3D to 2D". From then,
I have received many responses. It seems an exactly same question was
asked before, Paul Soper's summary proves much help. A few of new comments
are added to the summary below, may it be useful. 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My original question is:

Are there any softwares whcih can convert 3D structures of small organic 
compounds from, say, MOL2 or PDB format to comfortable 2D topological 
structures?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: J.A.C. Rullmann, rull@nmr.chem.ruu.nl

Maybe the program LIGPLOT, developed at UCL, could help you. LIGPLOT is
advertised as a tool for automatically generating schematic diagrams of
protein-ligand interactions for a given PDB file, byt maybe it will work for
your type of problem too.

See the WWW page: http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/~roman/ligplot/ligplot.html
Example outputs are included.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: soperpd@nylon.es.dupont.com (Paul D. Soper)

    I recently asked for programs which could convert 3D structures to
2D drawings.  The replies, which follow, included these programs:

    Cambridge Crystal Structure Database System
    CAMEO
    Catalyst - MSI         
    ChemDraw & Chem3D - Cambridge Scientific
    Chemeleon - Exographics 
    Chemistry 4D-Draw - ChemInnovation       
    Depict, Daylight Programmers Toolkit - Daylight    
	Simon Kilvington provided the following reference:
	    D.Weininger; "Smiles 3. Depict. Graphical depiction of chemical 
	    structures." J. Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, 30 
	    (1990) pp237-243.
    Layout - MDL         
    Sybyl, Unity, dbtranslate - TRIPOS      

Bob Zinn suggested the transform
    xp(i)=y(i)-x(i) 
    yp(i)=(x(i)+y(i)-2*z(i))/2  
which he has implemented in MathCAD

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: dough@mdli.com

If you have access to MACCS, with 3D module, at your site, you can do

MEDIT GET FILE - some 3D MDL molfile
MEDIT FLATTEN - this generates bond hash and wedge marks - optional...
MEDIT CLEAN - this does what the CLEAN command in MACCS Draw menu does

It may take a couple of cycles of MEDIT CLEAN to get an acceptable
structure.  There is also a LAYOUT program which does a lot more in the
way of orienting and layout.

Other vendors have similar capability - e.g., Daylight's DEPICT, and
any of the programs which input SMILES.  The Exographics Chemeleon
program has some 2D modeling capability, too.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Harold Helson <Harold_Helson@camsci.com>

The program CAMEO (Computer-Assisted Mechanistic Evaluation of Organic
Reactions) can read PDB files and redraw them in two-dimensions.  There
might be a Mac version of this program available now.

If you are interested, you can contact Professor William L. Jorgensen:
         bill@adrik.chem.yale.edu

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: bob.zinn@chemgate.chem.lsu.edu (bob zinn)

in a program I wrote a few years ago, to display molecules from x,y,z 
coordinates as stereo pairs, 
I plotted 
xp(i)=y(i)-x(i) and 
yp(i)=(x(i)+y(i)-2*z(i))/2  

as one of the pictures.  the other one had the coordinates
transformed by a small rotation around the center.  If you have
mathcad available, I can send a copy of the program.  It kind of
worked ok for the proteins a professor was working with.  The
rotation was kinda slow, when I was trying to see how things
lined up in the molecule.  I think the 3d-2d transformation shown
above came from one of mathcad's examples.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: wallyr@netcom.com (Walter E. Reiher III)

I am aware of two such systems:  software distributed by Daylight
Chemical Information Systems and by Tripos Inc.
     I have not personally used the Daylight software, so I'm not 100%
certain they can take a 3D structure + connection table and create such
a depiction, but I'm pretty sure then can:  they can certainly create a
depiction from a connection table specified as a SMILES string.
     I have used the Tripos software in the Unity database package and
the Molecular Spreadsheet.

I would advise you that the depictions from the Tripos software are
generally dismal; they seldom look anything like what a chemist would
draw using a chemical drafting program.  What I've seen of the Daylight
depictions aren't great but better than Tripos'.

Cambridge Scientific, the ChemDraw people, may be able to do this since
Chem3D and ChemDraw seem to work together; it's worth a call to them.

	If your site maintains a Sybyl license, the following may
	be of interest:

	I have seen a brief demonstration of a new SPL script that
	I am told is integrated into the newest version of Sybyl (6.1).
	For the cases to which I saw it applied, the results were 
	very pleasing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: MARTIN%cmda@randb.abbott.com

The pictures are ok, not great, by using the Daylight software Depict.
Also Sybyl will do this. Both give postscript output.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "A.Masunov" <AEMHC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Try the software accompanying Cambridge Crystal Structure Database.
I've seen  the output of the last version. It contains nice structural
formulas even for cage molecules.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Mike Wang <hcmwang@netcom.com>

Here is a program which may indirectly help you if you know the IUPAC names 
of the structures:

Chemistry 4D-Draw (tm) is an advanced drawing program with an intelligent
module, NamExpert, that understands IUPAC organic nomenclature rules.
The program interprets chemical names and automatically creates high quality 
structures.  It provides intelligent drawing tools for creating 
publication-quality graphics.  It allows you to create structure 
templates with user-defined trivial names.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Leif Norskov <lnl@novo.dk>

Catalyst from MSI and Unity from Tripos will both do that.
Catalyst does it very nicely, too.
But in both cases it is a bit like using a Ferrari instead of a bicycle
to go a few blocks across town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Dave Cosgrove <cosgrove@zeneca-ph.co.uk>

This one cropped up a few months ago, but I don't think a summary was
posted. Perhaps you could post a summary when you've got some answers,
just for the archive!  My own solutions to this problem are two-fold :

There is a Depict toolkit from Daylight (try yosi@daylight.com) that
will take a SMILES string and produce a set of 2D structures.  We have
some quibbles about the pictures produced ( straight chain alkanes
come out as a straight line, for instance ), but the toolkit is
cheap(ish) for what it does.  I think you would probably need to buy
the SMILES toolkit as well, but I don't think the two together come to
more than 5000 pounds sterling ( I don't have a dollar price).  With
the SMILES toolkit you are no longer restricted to SMILES strings,
since you can read any file and build the molecule into a SMILES
string before calling Depict to produce the coordinates.  These are
toolkits, however, you need to build them into a program, in any of C,
C++, FORTRAN or even, I believe, Ada and Pascal.


If you have Sybyl, you can persuade it to produce fairly dodgy 2D
pictures, from a SMILES string, using the following commands:

SMILESTOMOL <smiles_string> M1 TRUE

MOL OUT M1 <filename>

Again, this uses a SMILES string as input.  In principle you can get
Sybyl to create a SMILES string for you, from a file you have read in,
but in my experience this is frequently unsuccessful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Simon Kilvington <s.r.kilvington@soton.ac.uk>

	the Daylight programmers toolkit will do what you want - sorry I don't
have an address, but I do have a reference to a description of how the
connection table to 2D representation works if you want to write your own
version.

D.Weininger; "Smiles 3. Depict. Graphical depiction of chemical structures."
J. Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, 30 (1990) pp237-243.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Tom Moock x1301 <tom@mdli.com>

In response to your question about 3D -> 2D conversion:  I don't
know of a program that takes 3d coordinates and returns a "2D"
representation of it.  It brings to mind some sort of 2D optimization,
or flattening, of the structure, that still retains some of the
original relative atom positions.

However, there are programs that take a connection table, with NO
coordinate info, and generates a 2D picture.  Here at MDL we
have a program called LAYOUT, although the demand for it has been
light in the last several years.  Daylight also has a program
DEPICT that runs on smiles codes, and does a similar thing.  There
are a few other database products (Questel Darc) that do not store
coordinates in their databases, but generate them upon retrieval.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Brian Karlak <bkarlak@ren.onyx-pharm.com>

I've found that dbtranslate, in Tripos' suite of Unity products, can perform the
3D -> 2D coordinate translation by translating the 3D structure into SMILES or
SLN (which contain only connectivity info, thus stripping the coordinate info)
and then translating that file into a sybmol, sybmol2 or maccs file.

The double translation can be performed with a single Unix command and is very
fast.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Matt Stahl <stahl@lhasa.harvard.edu>

	The best answer to your question can be found by searching the comp. 
chem. archives.  The last time the question was asked there were numerous 
responses.  The short of it is (if i recall correctly) that there are 
programs to do what you want - but nothing particularly cheap.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Andreas Goeller <goeller@organik.uni-erlangen.de>

In principal you can read it in Hyperchem and cut and paste it in C-Design/
Chem structure. I think this works also with other Windows programs also.

---------------------------------------------------------------
From: Paul Soper <soperpd@nylon.es.dupont.com>

    I asked the same question a while back.  Here is the summary
I posted: (SEE ABOVE)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
From: "tamasgunda@tigris.klte.hu" <tamasgunda@www.ccl.net>

I think the problem is the same as in the case of another quite often 
heard question: is there any program to convert a SMILES string back 
to graphical structure? Generally, how to draw/restore the structure 
>from pure connectivity information, and in turn, the result should
please the eyes of organic chemists. There are some programs, but as 
a whole, I am quite pessimistic. It can be done easily in the case of 
aniline or dodecylbromide, but how about a complicated natural 
product like taxol or strychnine or a cyclopeptide or a macrolid 
antibiotics? It is nearly impossible to create an algorithm which 
could figure out what kind of projection is the "desired" one. Maybe a 
program with an immense structural library could solve the majority 
of the cases. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Eric Martin <martine@pleiades.chiron.com>

Daylight makes utility programs to convert MDL or PDB files to SMILES,
which can then be depicted with their prado program.  Good luck.

Dear CCL'ers,

As I have a paper on protein loop modeling waiting to be submitted to
international journals, I'd like to know how most of you consider the
accademic grade and/or level of popular computational chemistry and
structural biology journals (Of course, except Nature & Science :-) ).
Since this probably is a sensitive topic ( perhaps for those publishers
and editors :-( ), please email directly to me if you are kind to
introduce it or have same interest.

Subject: NMR Coupling constants


Does anyone have good leads on ab initio calculations of coupling
constants.  A colleague is looking at a molecule (2,5-dihydrofuran)
where the coupling between the protons on C2 and C3 are much
smaller than would be expected based on the Karpluss equation.
The RHF 6-31G* geometry shows a dihedral of ~60 deg, which is not
near any of the Karpluss equation zeros.  I figure I'm going to have
to do some learning on this one, but I need some starting points.

Dear net-ters,
answering to the question of Dr. Ellson: the DZP' basis set 
(now called EPT-II) is not exactly the Chip1 one, since the contraction 
coefficients are determined by B3LYP atomic computations. 
Furthermore the polarization functions are from the CC basis sets of Dunning.
The whole basis set is given in my chapter on Recent Advances in Density 
Functional Methods, ed.D.P.Chong, World Scientific Publishing Co.,
in press. In the meantime I enclose the whole basis set.
Sincerely
                                 Vincenzo Barone
                           Professor of Physical Chemistry

With respect to the evaluation of different techniques of viewing 
stereoimages of molecules we are very interested in a publication by
J. Hsu, Z. Pizlo, C.F. Babbs, D.M. Chelberg and E.J. Delp on the 
topic "Is stereo viewing really better" in the
Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical 
Engineering, Vol. 2177, p.211-222, 1994.
We have trouble to get this paper in Germany and I would appreciate 
very much assistance in retrieving the publication (which has at 
least some connections to the subject of this reading list).

Many thanks
Gregor

        Does anyone know of a IBM UNIX program that can be used
to draw 2D chemical structures for importing into text documents
on IBM workstations?  The only program that I know of for the
UNIX system is ChemDraw, but it does not run with the AIX
operating system.

        Has anyone tried to use an OS emulator with either a Mac
or DOS chemical drawing program on a AIX system?  Is this a
viable option?

        Thanks.

Subject: Charmm and hydrogens



Hi,
 I'me trying to use Charmm on some some peptide chains. I'm using the Whatif
graphics package to create the peptides and then read those into Charmm.

However I'm having errors thrown up by Charmm regarding missing hydrogens and
also for my terminal HIS residue missing oxygens.  Can someone tell me how
to get Charmm to automatically create these hydrogens (and oxygens) and
place them in `reasonable' positions. Also how do I set Charmm to minimise
in a water continuum (ie an external dielectric of 78.4).

Thanks

      -----------------------------------------------------------

The goal of the supercomputing conference on Computational Chemistry is
to address the state-of-the-art in computational methodologies in chemistry
and chemical engineering.  Emphasis will be made on the problems that arise
when the studied systems are large or when chemically accurate calculations
are desired, and when attempts are made to include in the calculations most
of the effects (solvent, electric fields, etc.) that surround a molecule or
system in a real situation.  We hope that this event will offer an
opportunity for a critical review of the most recent advances in quantum
chemistry and process modelling methodologies as well as help to provide
orientation in the search for guidelines and future trends in the field.


                           TOPICS

        I.   Ab initio, DFT, semiempirical, and other methods for
             the calculation of the electronic structure and
             properties of atoms, molecules and solids.
        II.  Simulations of molecules and solids by molecular
             dynamics and MonteCarlo methods.
        III. Catalysis -- ligand activation in homogenous and
             heterogeneous systems.
        IV.  Chemical Engineering process modelling.

Can somebody give me an "explanation for pedestrians" of what 
WASP does (good and bad), and whether it's possible to get it as free 
software? If not, who sells it, what sorts of things should I look for? What 
kind of computers
can run it, is there good documentation written about it? What's the best
book about it? Etc...

Since this is a very informative question, I'll post only if somebody 
request it.

I would sincerely appreciate your comments,

Hi netters,

I am using SYBYL with Kollman all-atom parameters to energy minimize
a nucleic acid model.  Do any of you have any ideas on the dielectric 
constant to use if there are no explicit waters or counterions present.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers,

Rob Setlik
