Hi all!

as I promised, here is the summary of the responses  about MM2 parameters
for sulfonamides and sulfonylureas.

Thank you all for your help

I have, in collaboration with Phil Bowen at Georgia, submitted a 
manuscript with thise parameters in it to Theochem.   Not sure what the 
status the manuscript is at the moment, but will forward your note to 
Phil Bowen.

Hello,

We have developed MM3 sulfonamide parameters.  A paper should be appearing
in THEOCHEM (J. Mol. Struct.) if it has not already appeared regarding
this subject.  Let me dig into my files, and I can forward the parameters
to you.

We have been doing some calculations of some sulfonamides by many
different methods.  What are you in particular looking for ?  The
MM2 parameters and such can be readily calculated as there really are
not any strange heteroatoms involved; we have on occasion had problems
with S in some strange valence state but usually applying appropriate
parameters corrects any strange results.  I would be glad to share
what we have in this reagrd with you but it just isn't clear what
parameters are giving you problems

best regards

Roberta,

You may want to search the CCL archives for an answer to this question
as it has already been asked and summarized quite nicely.

Here are a few references, unfortunately they are for AMBER and CHARMm.

Subject: References on networked polymers and fluoroethers ...



Dear CCL'ers,

I would be grateful for one or two recent references to be 
used as starting points for reading in the following not
necessarily related areas:

    1. Molecular dynamics studies on partially and/or
       highly crosslink polymer systems (elastomers
       and/or thermosets).

     2. MM/MD or QM studies of fluoroethers.

     3. Studies comparing computed NMR spectra with 
        experimental values.

     4. Computational investigations of the anomeric
        effect. 

I am sure that in some of these areas there is alot to be
found (anomeric effect) ... a current starting point is all
I am hoping to get. 


Sincerely,

Has anyone experience in using the Statmech module in Cerius 3.2? I am
looking for information regarding assigning 2-D torsional potentials
to bond environments within this particular module. The description in the
manual is unclear and naturally MSI no longer supports the Statmech
module.
