Hi, ccl'er,


I do some calculations on my PC by G94W. I want ot visualize the electric
density contour. Which program can this job? A small one is preferred.



Thanks

Dear Colleagues;

        For a calculation I wish to perform, I require the van der Waals
radii of each of the atoms (including hydrogen) in the 20 common amino
acids.  If anyone can recommend a published source of this information (or
if anyone should happen to have this information as an e-mailable file),
I would appreciate hearing from you.

        Thanks in advance to all responders.

Sincerely,

Hi, ccl'ers,


I calculated a molecule with 3 Phenyls. I use BLYP/3-21G**. This time, I
try "restart", a SCF option that I didn't use before. I kill the job after
L502.exe had been running 4 cycles, then I put "restart" after "SCF=". I
ran the calculation again. L502.exe did 2 cycles and the result was gotten.
Again I did the job from the very original start. After 6 cycles had been
done, another result was gotten. I list them below:

:With SCF=(save, restart)
Convergence on energy, delta-E=1.12D-05
 SCF Done:  E(RB-LYP) =  -692.644057005     A.U. after    2 cycles
             Convg  =    0.2054D-03             -V/T =  2.0090
             S**2   =   0.0000
 KE= 6.864357999909D+02 PE=-3.864671343753D+03 EE= 1.355127785196D+03

:With SCF=save
SCF Done:  E(RB-LYP) =  -692.644408415     A.U. after    6 cycles
             Convg  =    0.4070D-05             -V/T =  2.0094
             S**2   =   0.0000
 KE= 6.861718246427D+02 PE=-3.864945652472D+03 EE= 1.355665717853D+03


Why do they have error I think it considerable great?


Thanks a lot

Y. FAN
