		Molecular modeling in drug design and biotechnology

                         Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing '98
			    (http://cgl.ucsf.edu/psb)
			
Co-chairs:
	Terry P. Lybrand, University of Washington, Seattle                  
        Teri E. Klein, University of California, San Francisco
        Jurgen Bajorath, Bristol-Myers Squibb Research Institute and 
        University of Washington, Seattle.

The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB-98) is an international,
multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current
research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems
of biological significance.

We are currently soliciting manuscripts for the track/session "Molecular
modeling in drug design and biotechnology" and/or abstracts for an 
accompanying poster session.

This session will highlight state-of-the-art molecular modeling approaches
which aid in small molecular and structure-based drug design and protein
engineering. These include approaches to analyze the energetics and dynamics
of macromolecular structures and their interactions with various ligands. 
Advances in the generation and assessment of molecular models of proteins
and protein-ligand complexes will be discussed. One focal point will be
new developments and advances in computational tools to perform automated
ligand docking to target receptor sites, including the design of new
or modified ligands with desired receptor binding properties.
New methods and practical examples of computer-aided protein engineering
will also be highlighted.  Contributions from all areas of pharmaceutical
or biological research are encouraged to illustrate the increasing
importance of computational methods in drug development.


PSB-98 will publish peer-reviewed full papers in an archival proceedings.  
Manuscripts must adhere to the guidelines set forth on the the PSB web page.
Full papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor 
currently submitted to another journal.  Once accepted to 
the conference, a paper may be submitted for journal publication. Each 
manuscript will be refereed by at least four reviewers. 
Authors who do not wish to submit a full paper are welcome to submit a 1-2 page
abstract as outlined on the PSB web page, which will
be distributed at the meeting separately from the archival proceedings.


The deadline for paper submission is July 14, 1997. Abstracts may be submitted
until October 1.

Papers must be submitted to:

      PSB-98
      c/o Section on Medical Informatics

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who helped with my question about CC optimisations in 
G94. All the answers are summarized below, following my message. In a few 
words:

  - CCSD optmizations can be done numerically in G94.
  - Although the convergence criterion can be changed, it seems 
to a better choice to increment the number of allowed cycles.
  - CCSD analytical optimizations can be done with ACESS II, which is 
higly recomended over G94 for CC claculations in general.

My question was:

> When I tried to optimize a molecule at the CCSD(T) level, I found out

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "Michael Nolan (WannaBe Quantum Chemist)" <maiden@RedBrick.DCU.IE>

You could simply try and increse the number of iterations from 50
the convergence criteria refer simply to the maximum number of
iterations(50) and what the difference between two successive iterations
(0.100D-07) must be.
I don't know too much about G94, our own copy of it still isn't working
(even Gaussian Inc. couldn't get it to work!), so I cannot be too
specific.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Qiang Cui <qiang@euch4e.chem.emory.edu>

If possible, do NOT use Gaussian for CCSD etc. calculations. It's very
slow compared to Molpro or ACES. Both of them can handle CCSD(T) very
efficiently. However, as far as I know, ACES is the only one that can
actually handle CCSD(T) analytical gradient. They have implemented
analytical hessian as well for CCSD(T). (and all other approximations as
well as excited state extensions.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "Eric V. Patterson" <patter@pollux.chem.umn.edu>

G94 can indeed optimize molecules at the CCSD(T) level, just not
analytically.  This makes the optimization very slow, or course.
Frequency calculations become even more painful.  

You may set the convergence threshold by specifying CCSD(T,conver=N),
where N is the desired threshold, 10^-N.  I would not be inclined to
reduce this figure too far below the default of 8, maybe no lower than 6.

You don't mention what starting geometry you are using.  It would be
advisable to start with a good MP2 of DFT structure.  This may help with
some of your convergence difficulties.

Finally, a personal aside.  I use CCSD(T) frequently.  It is a very
reliable, high-level method.  However, I don't use Gaussian for it.  The
ACES II package from the Quantum Chemistry Program at the University of
Florida (http://qtp.ufl.edu/Aces2) is a robust program designed
specifically for coupled-cluster applications.  Optimizations are done
analytically.  It is no more difficult to use than Gaussian, and is
superior for CC calculations, in my opinion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Doug Fox <gaussian.com!fox@lorentzian.com>

   Gaussian 94 can optimize structures with CCSD and CCSD(T) but since
only energy calculations are available it will use numerical gradients
instead.  For CCD there are analytic gradients so the normal optimizer
will be used.

   For numerical gradients the gradient is only as accurate as the energy
which is computed.  So while you can cut down the convergence with
the Conver=N option the possible accuracy of your structure is directly
affected.  If the convergence is close with 50 cycles you can use the
MaxCyc=M option to increase the number of iterations in the CC.  For
CCD I would highly recommend against reducing these because the optimization
assumes that it will get at least the default accuracy in the gradients.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Hui-Hsu Tsai <hxt10@po.CWRU.Edu>

   I think the program "PSI" can do CCSD(T) geometry optimization.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jan Hrusak <jan.hrusak@jh-inst.cas.cz>

You may have also a look to our recent paper on the comparisons of all the 
CC based methods (CCD, CCSD, CCSD(T), BD, BD(T), QCISD, QCISD(T))
in J. Chem. Phys. 1997, 106, 7185. 
In general the Gaussian allows you to do numerical gradient calculations 
just using the opt command. The number of iterations can be increased 
by typing the IOP(9/6=xxxx) option.

Hi all,

I am trying to find a free and simple MD trajectory viewer for
Linux/xwindows with source. It does not have to be specifically
for biomolecular structures, as long if I can view a trajectory
of moving dots with bonds. I have tried VMD, and basically
I think it is way too slow compared with a single frame viewer
as Rasmol (to say it in other words: it can be done much faster). 
I would be happy with sources of any graphical primitives
as well, so I can build the viewer myself. If there is any interest in
these kind of programs, I'll maybe put some more effort in it.

Dear CCLers,

I would like to do a state-averaged MCSCF calculation for the first few
electronic states of a relatively large system. 

Are there references about the possible strategies one could use to
select the relevant configurations for my particular case ?

I will summarize to the list.

Thanx in advance,

Subject: Re: CCL:AM1 frequencies scaling
Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Disposition: Inline


Netters,

Guiseppe Milano posed the following question a week or so ago:

> I would appreciate to receive information about scaling of AM1 frequencies 

I though I would reply as the author of two papers in this area:

J. Mol. Struct. (THEOCHEM);  1993, 281, 141  (AM1 results)
J. Mol. Struct. (THEOCHEM);  1997 in press.  (SAM1 results)

Unfortunately, things in the semiempirical world are not as simple as in the 
case of ab initio calculations in this area.  The AM1 paper above clearly 
showed that no single factor would solve the problem of scaling all 
vibrational types.  The errors for the different motions  was widely variable, 
although there were clear trends that were easily explainable by the relative 
simplicity of the semiempirical orbital descriptions.  A quite complex scheme 
of corrections was proposed in that paper.

The SAM1 paper basically says the same thing, although the error analysis has 
been greatly simplified, making adjustment of the vibrations to experimental 
results easier.  I have listed some selected data below to support this:

                                              Errors
Vib. Type    #Examples         SAM1      |SAM1|    AM1    |AM1|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All             442            0.7%       9.0%     4.9%    9.6%
Str. (non-H)     69           14.0       15.7     14.9    18.2
Str. (C-H)      105           -2.6        3.8      4.4     4.5
Bends            75           -0.8       10.5      6.3    10.4
Rock/Wags       116            0.8        8.3      4.5     8.9
Defs.            66           -2.7        8.0     -1.8     7.8
Tors.            11          -20.4       21.2    -16.2    16.3

The take-home lessons:

1.  Only vibrational types that have signed and unsigned errors of the same  
    magnitude will likely benefit from adjustment.

2.  SAM1 non-H stretching modes can be scaled by multiplying by 0.86
    AM1 non-H stretching modes can be scaled by multiplying by 0.85

3.  SAM1 torsional modes can be scales by multiplying by 1.2563
    AM1 torsional modes can be scales by multiplying by 1.1933

4.  The TYPE of vibration must be identified before scaling.  This is best  
    done with vibrational animation graphics software.  I obviously used AMPAC  
    for all of these tasks.

Subject: calculating symmetry
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any code that will calculate the
symmetry elements of a group of particles.

What I want to do is look at the nearest neighbours around a particle
and be able to calculate the degree to which those neighbours have a
particular symmetry, ie inversion, reflection etc.  I want from this to
be able to say how well these particles correspond to tetrahedral,
icosahedral etc symmetry, by asking things like "how many planes of
symmetry are there, and how 'good' a plane of symmetry is each".

thanks,

Richard

Dear CCLers,

CADPAC program can calculate the electric dipole-quadrupole 
polarizability tensor (A), electric dipole-magnetic
dipole polarizability tensor (G'), and their derivative 
w.r.t. nuclear displacement coordinates.

It seems that it is possible to evaluate above quantities
numerically using G94.
Is there anyone who knows how to do this?

Thanks,

Dear Alex, you may check the gOpenMol program at 
http://laaksonen.csc.fi/gopenmol/gIntro.htmls
which support several molecular formats; also Xmol 
http://www.msc.edu/msc/docs/xmol/XMol.html is suitable for 
animating sequences of XYZ files. One more animation program is Moviemol 
http://chem-www.mps.ohio-state.edu/~lars/moviemol.html which works on 
both PC and UNIX environments.
	For further infos check our CompChem software page at

	Bye
Bruno

I was wondering if anyone knew any way to extract order parameters (S^2) from
the trajectory generated by an md simulation (e.g. discover)?  I know of
fortran programs available to do this, but have not been able to implement them
correctly.  Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.
