Dear CCLers, Derick and David,


The free volume calculations is part of the specialist polymer analysis tools and does not form a direct part of the C2 QSAR and C2-Descriptor+ sets.


It is however a set of information that using the C2SDk can be passed into the QSAR tables.


MICHAEL


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\--


Free volume analysis using Voronoi tessellation


The model is subdivided into space filling complex polyhedra surrounding each atom. Each polyhedron can be thought of as encompassing the volume "belonging" to that atom.


The tesselation process can be more easily visualized in 2D. A line is drawn between each pair of atoms and a plane is placed normal to the line at its center (shown as a solid line). As the planes intersect they produce a polyhedra. The tesselation results give much more information than the simple measures of total, occupiable and unoccupiable free volume. 


The distribution of hole sizes and the shapes of the holes (the surface area/volume ratio = (S/4)/(3V/4) where S and V refer to the polyhedron surface area and volume, it has a minimum value of 1.0 for a sphere) are likely to correlate with properties involving molecular packing.


By selecting the atoms used for the tesselation the free volume associated with different parts of the system can be studied.


For example: free volume around chain ends verses chain center to look at molecular weight effects (ref), free volume around additives such as plasticizers, etc.

Dear CCL,

The distribution of certain variables I calculate sometimes show more than
one mean: in my case this means that the distribution is a sum of two or
more separate distributions. Calculating the correlation with (for
instance) a single Gaussian distribution does not make much sense. Is
anyone familiar with this branch of statistics? I am looking for a theory
dealing with this problem.

I will summarize any responses to the list,


Alex Ninaber

Dear CCLers,
we have some problems with the simulation of a zn-protein with Quanta/CHARMM
package. We think that the problems arise by bad Zn parametrization.
Can anybody give us informations about possible solutions at this problem??

Does any one know how to solve this kind of problem in g94, I use the
version E.2

 Density matrix breaks symmetry, PCut= 1.00D-04
 Density matrix has no symmetry -- integrals replicated.
