Dear Sir:

        I would like to ask about determination of atomic charges from ab
initio electrostatic potentials:  For example, in CHELP, CHELPG, and Merz
and Kollman, various points were normally  putted at the van der Waals
contact region surrounding the molecule ?

        Thank you.

Greetings all,

I wonder if anybody can suggest a good reference~(review paper) about the
CPHF procedure. 

Thanks a lot.

Hello.

Last week I sent a message concerning Science-By-Mail, an educational
experience linking school kids and ``working'' scientists.  Those interested in
this opportunity, i.e. for anyone interested in sharing scientific
understanding for those just entering the field, can take a look at:

http://www.mos.org/mos/sbm/sciencemail.html

or  Call (617) 589-0437 or (800) 729-3300 (Monday-Friday 9-5 EST).  Their email
is:

hi netters,

thanks to all who responded to my question.

there is not much to summarize and I won't list all the answers I've got
here. Most replies are roughly:
"we've been looking for that kind of software, too. Couldn't find
anything."


BUT:
I was pointed to molden3.3
http://www.caos.kun.nl/~schaft/molden/molden.html

and looked at it again.

It's not exactly what I wanted but it's worth to consider. The problem is:
you can easily edit a z-matrix with it. but in order to change *any*
internal coordinate this must be defined in terms of the z-mat. so if I
start from xyz and the auto z-mat builder doesn't make a z-mat which
includes this int. coordinate I have to reedit the whole z-mat.

this is all I have, sorry ;-)

greetings,

rochus


P.S.
what about if all those people (including me), who want to have such a
software think about "creating" it?
I was thinking about using a openGL extended scripting language like
tcl (or maybe python) for the job. since I have no clue about tcl I was
wondering if someone could supply a "viewport" which just displays a ball
and stick model which can be rotated etc.?
if you want to comment this idea or have any (definetly better ;-) ones
please reply *directly* to me, since we don't want to waste the bandwidth
on ccl.

Subject: Multipole expansion error bounds
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Does anyone have a reference to error bounds for
truncating multipole expansions of 3D point charge
sets? I have Greengard's 87 paper which gives
2D results. Are they also correct for 3D? (the library
seems to have misplaced his more recent book!!). 

Also, any ideas on optimal position for expansion center?
The 2D bound indicates one should minimize the 
distance from center to farthest charge independent of
charge value or distribution, but it seems
like some kind of charge-weighted center would be better.

Thanks

Hi!
Is there any topological index (like Randic,Balaban,...) that can
include information about double bonds in the system?
