                      CORNELL THEORY CENTER WORKSHOP

                  Flexible Ligand Docking for Drug Design
                         April 24 - 26, 1997
                *******************************************

                    http://www.tc.cornell.edu/~richard


  The Cornell Theory Center (CTC) will hold a workshop on the use of
Monte Carlo methods for predicting the conformations of small ligands 
bound to proteins. Class size will be limited to 12 to allow each
participant to work on an SGI workstation. The workshop will be highly
practical in nature, focusing on how to run the RESEARCH docking
package, a Monte Carlo-based docking code created at the University
of Alberta. The RESEARCH algorithm was highly successful at the recent 
CASP2 competition for structure prediction (http://PredictionCenter.llnl.gov/).
The format will be short lectures delivered by the authors of RESEARCH 
interspersed with periods of laboratory time. Worked examples will be 
provided for those who do not wish to bring their own data. A huge variety
of test ligands will be available via the NCI 3D structural database
(http://epnws1.ncifcrf.gov:2345/dis3d/3Ddatabase/dis3d.html).

An experimental virtual reality interface to RESEARCH will be available
for use in CTC's Visual Insight Zone, a state-of-the-art
immersive interactive graphics environment.

Speakers:

Trevor Hart and Steven Ness
Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology
Univeristy of Alberta, Canada

Richard Gillilan
Cornell Theory Center
Ithaca, NY

The workshop will cover

      o Molecular force fields: a practical guide
        (including an intro to CTC's automatic assignment 
         library for the recently published MMFF94 force field)

      o Introduction to molecular docking

      o Analysis of data and prediction

      o Docking with genetic algorithms

      o Database screening

      o Virtual reality (hands-on)

Participants are encouraged to bring their own data sets. Consulting
staff will be available to assist researchers in their projects. The
licenses for home-institution or corporate use of the RESEARCH package may
be purchased from the authors.  Contact Trevor Hart
(hart@ualberta.ca) for details.

Dear Netters,
excuse me for an off-topic question:
can anyone put me on the right track how to deal with *.cgi files, maybe
with a programm or helper application called bulbit ? Where can I possibly
get this bulbit  ? (I am surfing with Netscape..)
Never heard these names before, but it looks like I need to know now....
Thanks in advance!

This problem is probably due to too many shared memory being used. With
SGI machine, try "ipcs -m" to list and "ipcrm -m ID" to remove them. Try
to remove all ID with non-root owner. The easier way is to reboot the
machine. All shared memory should be cleared then.

One other remote possibility is running out of RAM due to e.g. molecular size
too big etc. In this case, it might not exit so gracefully. It might also be
out of processors (check with the top command).

Hope this helps!

There are two ways of testing your memory without rebooting your Linux box to
another OS.  The first is to use memtest available from a mirror near you (or
entropy.ucsc.edu/pub/linux/memtest86-1.1.tar.gz).  The second is a series of
kernel makes.  You can read more about the second at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/

good luck,
Rich
