Hi fellow CCLers,

I am looking for any information (source, cost, books etc.) on the codes
CRYSTAL or CRYSTAL 92 and EMBED devised by  Pisani, Dovesi and coworkers.
There doesn't appear to anything on these programs on the www unless of
course I've been looking in the wrong place.  Any information on this topic
would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Darren

Subject: Mulliken Population analysis


Dear Sir,

I am trying to understand how is the Mulliken
population analysis done in VB calculations.
I need all the analysis including all the equetions
from the wave function until the charges.
I know how to do it when only one configuration is involved,
so what I need to know is how it is done when there are more then
one configuration.

Any kind of help would be happily excepted

                         thanks,
                           Avital Shurki.

 Dear Netters,
 
     I am now studying on 4-(or 5-)methylimdazole and its protonated 
 compound with theoretical methods. Unfortunately, it is not so easy for 
 me to find their very basic experimental data.
     Does anybody out there kindly provide some references or hints 
 concerning their geometries, atomic charges and dipole moments in the gas 
 phase as well as in the sovlent ?  Any other data related to them are 
 also highly appreciated.
     By the way, I have consulted the book "Comprehensive Heterocyclic 
 Chemistry (1984) edited by Katritzky and Rees but got disappointed.
     Many thanks in advance.

Content-Type: text
Content-Length: 1680


Dear netters,

I am in the process of investigating the excited states of aromatic (dye) 
molecules and I am using MOPAC for these studies.  As there are many low-lying 
excited electronic configurations, I use the C.I.= keyword, and the appropriate
ROOT= value, as well as specifing the mulitplicity.

Quite often, MOPAC will exit with the error message, "Degenerate Energy levels
detected in MECI...  MOPAC quits."
 
I have summarised responses which give explainations for this problem in the 
past.  Basically, if there are degenerate configurations for an excited system,
then either all or none of these must be included in the C.I. calculation.  
This can be achieved by using a higher or lower C.I. value to include or 
exclude all of the set of degenerate configurations.

There is a more sensitive approach, which involves the use of the keyword OPEN

My question is simply How do I use this keyword.  Could somebody please give
an example of how I could use this keyword to exclude or include all of the
degerate configurations in a C.I. calculation (eg C.I.=5)

As always, I will summarize.

Jason

Subject: CFF91 Forcefield for Carbohydrates?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


In the tutorial for InsightII (the Biosym 95.0 release), there is an example of
building a carbohydrate.  The resulting structure was minimized using the CFF91
forcefield.

Is anyone aware of CFF91 being parameterized for carbohydrates?  Is there a
literature or WWW reference for these possibly new parameters?

Thanks...

     Hi :

	I am currently working with imidazoles, not exactly metylimidazoles 
but, I would like to know what references have you already seen (all of them) 
may be I could help you with other books and articles. I would like to 
know too if you work only with theory and/or lab.

Hello all,

  I am looking for a few good papers than evaluate a number of MM force 
fields in comparision to experimental data.  What I am looking for is how 
well MM does to molecules that were not used in the fitting process for 
all the parameters.  Any points will be greatly appreciated.  I will 
summarize all replies.

Regards.

Todd

Does anyone know where the stereoscopic vision glasses may be obtained? 
The ones that are used to observe stereoscopic molecular figures. I was 
looking to purchase the cheaper plastic/cardboard ones.

Subject: xray resolution vs. inhib. design


Distinguished scientists,

I am trying to acquire some data on what atomic resolution is required of an
x-ray crystal structure of an enzyme or enzyme-receptor complex, in order to
successfully undertake a structure-based inhibitor design project.

Has anyone seen (or actually written) an article mentioning what resolution
requirements on the protein structure exist for various design approaches?  For
example, an iterative design-crystallization-design scheme, de novo inhibitor
design, qualitative guidance for inhibitor optimization, or at what resolution
is the structure pretty useless?

I am hoping someone may have written this, perhaps as an off-hand remark based
on their experiences in the field.  If someone has completed an in-depth study
on exactly this topic, well, that would be great, but I've never seen this type
of data.  I have heard rules of thumb thrown around, and I was wondering if
these were documented anywhere.

Thanks for your help.

Our ChemPlus software, working in conjunction with HyperChem, can do
these calculations.  It uses the methods of Ghose, Pritchett and Crippen
[_J. Comp. Chem._ *9*, 80 (1988)] and Ghose _et al._ [_J. Chem. Inf.
Comput. Sci._ *29*, 163 (1989)].

I can send more information about our products on request, or see our

Subject: Pipes in Fortran
Status: RO
Content-Length: 888



Hi All

        I would like to use pipes in Fortran. Basically, in my C programs, I
open a pipe using popen and it returns a file handle, with which I can do
whatever I do with a file, such as writing a sequence of commands one after
the other. I want to do the same thing in fortran. popen works for a single
command, but I do not know how to access it after that. If I do

        iunit = popen ("/usr/local/bin/wg ")    !open wg program        

        write (iunit,*)'Graph'                  ! I want to ask wg to draw a
graph

iunit is always zero and the subsequent write has no meaning. However,

main ()
{
        FILE *iunit;

        iunit = popen("/usr/local/bin/wg", "w");
        fprintf(iunit,"Graph\n");
        fprintf(iunit,"Curve 1 2\n");
        fprintf(iunit,"Table\n");
        ......
        fclose(iunit);
}

works fine.

        Any help is appreciated.

Ravi

ECHET96: Electronic Conference on Heterocyclic Chemistry.

An Electronic conference for discussing Heterocyclic
Chemistry  will be held from 24 June - 22 July 1996,
Both the World-Wide Web and electronic mail will serve as
delivery mechanisms. The meeting is a joint collaboration
between the International Society for Heterocyclic
Chemistry and the Royal Society of Chemistry Perkin
Division Heterocyclic Group.  The latter two groups
normally organize an international conference every
two years.  In 1996, it was decided to sponsor an
electronic conference in the alternate year between
face-to-face meetings, following the success of the ECTOC
(Electronic Trends in Organic Chemistry) conference last June.

We suspect you will find this format both chemically compelling
and surprisingly easy to use. Perhaps, collaborations that
result from participating in ECHET96 can be followed
up at the face-to-face 1997 meeting!

With the exception that reported work is expected to have some
relationship to heterocyclic chemistry, no limitations are placed
on the scientific content of accepted papers.  For example, we anticipate
contributions from synthesis, combinatorial and medicinal chemistries,
organometallics, spectroscopy, structure elucidation,
computational chemistry and combinations of these topics.

In a continuation of the ECTOC spirit, a "best-poster" prize
will be awarded.  Please encourage graduate students and all
co-workers to contribute to this conference in order to make
it a success we can build on.

Keynote Plenary Contributions will include work from the
following Research Groups:

1.  Clayton Heathcock (Berkeley)
2.  Philip Magnus     (Texas at Austin)
3.  Ken Houk          (UCLA)
4.  Victor Snieckus   (Guelph-Waterloo)
5.  Hisashi Yamamoto  (Tohoku)
6.  Eiichi Nakamura   (Tokyo)
7.  Daniel Comins     (North Carolina)
8.  Laurence Harwood  (Reading)
9.  Donald Craig      (Imperial College)
10. Reinhard Neier    (Neuchatel)
11. James Coxon       (Canterbury, NZ)

ECHET96 will continue the innovative
style introduced with ECTOC-1 in offering a low cost and
near-instant mechanism for discussing chemistry, with
features such as full color structure diagrams,
"clickable" or editable reaction schemes, rotatable 3D
molecular images, index searches of conference proceedings,
contributed discussions by participants, a conference
"molecular hyperglossary", up to date access statistics for
articles, photographs submitted by participants and
a prize for the "best poster".

We are inviting you to consider contributing an article or
poster to this event. The deadline for submitting an
abstract is April 26th. Further details can be obtained
using any of the following procedures;

1. Connecting to the following World-Wide Web location;

   http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/ectoc/echet96/

We hope to have an American mirror up shortly

2. Sending an electronic mail message to
listserver@ic.ac.uk containing the single line (no
signatures please)

   info echet96

3. Subscribing to the electronic mail list by sending a
message to listserver@ic.ac.uk containing the single line
(no signatures please);

   subscribe echet96  your name

During the conference period of 24 June to 22 July 1966,
postings to this forum will primarily involve dialog around
the papers (Q's, A's, comments).  Outside the conference
period, we expect postings to be restricted to information
about the event only.

Discussion will be by e-mail (we find this works best
across a range of time zones) by posting messages to
echet96@ic.ac.uk

At the end of the conference, we anticipate a CD-ROM will be
produced that incorporates articles and posters, electronic discussions
around them and other useful materials.  (See, however, the ECHET96 home
page for information directed to authors who do  not choose to leave a
permanent record.)  The first CD of this type which captures the ECTOC
experience will be available shortly. Please connect to
http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/ectoc/ for details on how to acquire
the disk.

We invite you to take part either as a presenter or a socractic
participant in this new and evolving format.  In either case, we
look forward to having you join us on this "off-year" Heterocyclic
Conference.
