Subject: Different extended Huckel Parameters for Ni
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hello everyone,

I wondered if any of you were familiar with extended Huckel parameters for Ni.
I found that two rather different sets are used in the programs Yaehmop by Greg
Landrum and the QCPE program No. 571. According to Greg the Yaehmop parameters
are particularly suited for cases where Ni is in a cation state. Does anybody
recognize and know the origin of the other parameter set. I only show the IP's
here:

IP             4s        4p           3d
Yaehmop     -10.95     -6.27        -14.2
QCPE 571     -9.17     -5.15        -13.49

The electrons are "tighter" in the Yaehmop parameters, consistent with the
situation in a positively charged atom.


I am doing calculations on perowskites like La2NiO4 and wonder which parameter
set is the best to use in this case.

Best regards,

Merethe

J.Mol.Model.: Review open for discussion



Dear colleague,

we are pleased to announce the publication of the second Journal of
Molecular Modeling Review entitled

"Three-Dimensional Models of Immune Cell Surface  Proteins and 
Identification of Binding Sites" 

by Juergen Bajorath

The review is accessible free of charge at the journals WWW-sites,

      http://link.springer.de/journals/jmm/ 

and

      http://www.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/info/JMOLMOD/

We encourage you to take part in the Open Discussion. The
following abstract gives you a taste of the subject reviewed. 

________________________________________________________________________________

ABSTRACT

The extracellular regions of many cell surface proteins of the 
immune system contain distinct modules that may be linked in many 
different ways and are often only loosely tethered to a transmembrane 
segment. To identify important regions for binding in these molecules, 
molecular models are used to select residues for mutagenesis and to 
map binding sites. Many immune cell surface proteins belong to protein 
super- families and display only limited sequence identity compared to 
proteins with known three-dimensional (3D) structure, often 30% or less. 
Therefore, their detailed 3D structures are difficult to predict, and 
structure-based sequence analysis and model assessment are particularly 
important components of the model building process. In some cases, 
experimentally determined structures have made it possible to assess 
the accuracy of the predictions, which illustrates the opportunities 
and shortcomings of the approach. Herein the model-based identification 
of binding sites is described and representative examples are discussed.

I've got some questions regarding 	Nonlinear optics
					Sum over States

The 3rd order polarisability (2nd order hyperpolarisability) gamma
for one molecule is regarding to Butcher, Cotter, The Elements of
Nonlinear Optics, Academic Press, defined as

gamma(ijkl)(-oms,om1,om2,om3) = e**4/(3! * h/2pi)**-3 * Perm-Op *
sum ( (rgm(i)*rmn(j)*rno(k)*rog(l))/(mg-oms)(ng-om2-om3)(og-om3) +     
      (rgm(j)*rmn(i)*rno(k)*rog(l))/(mg+om1)(ng-om2-om3)(og-om3) +
      (rgm(j)*rmn(k)*rno(i)*rog(l))/(mg+om1)(ng+om1+om2)(og-om3) +
(      rgm(j)*rmn(k)*rno(l)*rog(i))/(mg+om1)(ng+om1+om2)(og+oms) )
 
with oms=om1+om2+om3 
g, m, n, o are ground and exc. steates 
mg, ng, og are E(exc.)-E(ground)
r are transition dipole moments
i, j, k, l are cartesian coordinates
and the pairs (om1, j), (om2, k), (om3, l) are permuted by Perm-Op

1) there are some similar formulae in literature which I can't directly
deduce to this formula. Is this the right definition?
2) gm is the transition 1-2, 1-3 and so on. Analogously og is 2-1, 3-1
 ... Has one to take rgm(i) = -rog(i) for m = o? There should be a
difference between the transition dipole moment "upstairs" and
"downstairs".
3) Is it allowed to reach the ground state with the transition rmn(i)
 or rno(i)? Is it allowed to stay in one state, e.g. rmn(i) with m=n
would be the dipole moment of that state (corrected by the dipole moment
of the ground state)?

4) According to finite field NLO: There the field is always defined in
atomic units. What is 1au of the electric field in V/m (SI)?

I will post a summary of (hopefully many) answers to the list.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy (demo or otherwise) of VChem
(apparently from www.virtualchemistry.com, but the website is empty (but
working)).

An Archie search turned up just a CGA program for 'learning what an atom
is' but the vchem I am looking for is apparently a little modelling program

Any pointers?

Dear Colleagues!

Does anybody know of a free isosurface visualisation library or package
which allows to color individual parts of the generated
isosurface ( from a 3D gridded data set ) based on another 3D data set.
I would like to display ab-initio calculated ESPs (Cube=Potential) on an
electron density isosurface from a Gaussian94 calculation using the
Cube=Density keyword.
It should be callabe from C/C++ and/or Fortran77 and running under
Unix(Linux) or NT.

A simple idea I've been toying with is the use of Rappe's QEq scheme
(perhaps coupled with Landis' VALBOND scheme) together with a
variationally derived analytical Thomas-Fermi expression for the charge
density of charged atoms.  This generates a very quick, crude, but
surprisingly good electron density (a superposition of charged atom
densities) and a full electrostatic potential (in analytical form)
corresponding to the QEq charges.  It's fast enough to perform at an MD
timescale.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Dear Colleagues

Apparently there has been some confusion about the charge assignment method
used by MSI's WebLab Viewer; in fact the Gasteiger method is used, as
indicated in the program's integral help text.

QEq is one of the methods available in our Cerius2 product, but not in
WebLab Viewer.  (If a molecule is read from one of the file formats
supported by WebLab Viewer, any partial charges included in the file are,
of course, retained on the molecule.)  

Sincere apologies to Dr Shapiro, Dr Goto and the CCL community for the
confusion over this issue.

Best wishes
