Dear CCLers, although I'm pretty sure this question has been already 
posed (and I beg your pardon for posing it again), I have to ask about a 
3D visualisation tool. I worked with SciAn, which is pretty good indeed, 
but the only existing version needs Z buffer and DGL. Looking on the net 
I found a software called vis5d, pretty good the same but tuned for 
metereological data and I found too time-expensive to adapt it to 
visualize orbitals, electronic density and so on. I'm using molden but I 
would like to find out soemthing more general (I'm trying to use ELF 
also, and this feature is not implemented in molden).
The software I'm looking for should manage x,y,z,function_value in order 
to give isosurfaces of the function I'm trying to plot. Something not 
strictly platform-dependant would be very fine.
Thank you for all the information you will provide.

Have a look at:

J. Chem. Phys., 1983, 78, 4063
Theoret. Chim. Acta, 1974, 35, 69

for theoretical acetylene H-bonding work.
For other C-H Hbond donor papers see ref. #1 and #4-11 in: JOC, 1995,

Is there a way to produce POVRAY .pov files from an XYZ input file?  I
actually have a concatenated series of xyz data points from an MD simulation
 and would like them, so that when read, they would make a 'movie'.

I would like to put them into POVRAY in sequence, and render them as a
movie, but what is the best way of doing that?

I don't really want to have to de-concatenate them, use babel, then PDB2POV
and then render them.  I *think* I have seen someone do this, but can't
remember who it was, but if anyone can give me a kick in the right
direction, I would be very grateful.

(p.s. Is XMol available for Linux?)

Hello,

I am trying to bind a compound to a nucleobase within an double stranded
DNA generated under the biopolymer module in InsightII, (the compound
was generated under a derivative of the AMBER parameter set). Trying to
manipulate 1 molecule without moving the other has been unsuccessful.
Trying to create a bond between the 2 molecules also doens't work (using
the builder module). If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly
appreciated. This should be easy, shouldn't it?

Thanks,
John Cox
