Subject: AMBER bending parameters 



Dear fellow-CCL subscribers,

I would like to do some molecular modeling of sugars using AMBER using
Hyperchem.
However, the parameters sets that I have available to me (AMBER2, AMBER3 and
AMBERS) do not include bending parameters for the atom sequence O(S)-C(T)-OH
(ie an ether oxygen bound to a sp3 carbon which has a hydroxyl group on it).
Can anyone provide me with the values for the bending force constant
(KTheta) and equilibrium bond angle (Theta eq) and/or a reference where I
might be able to find these values for the AMBER force-field?  
(I realize that AMBER was created primarily for studies of proteins and
nucleic acids, but even nucleic acids contain sugars!)

thanks for taking the time to read this,
best regards,
Jeff

Subject: Hydrogen disorder in ice crystals



Dear fellow-CCL subscribers,

I wish to create a computer model of an ice crystal that has hydrogen
disorder and is therefore more "real" than a completely ordered ice lattice?
Is anyone aware of a program that will enable me to reach this goal?

thanks in advance,
Jeff
