Dear netters,
I find several problems using CHARMm program in batch without Quanta graphic
interface.
Can anyone send me some informations or example files for minimization or
dynamic processes that can show the correct use of CHARMm package in batch.

Thank you in advance.

Hi CCLers,
	Got two responses for my question regarding computed chemical
shifts for aminoacids and peptides.  Thanks a lot for the replies.

Hi

First I was wondering if I could be added to the news group mailing list.

Second, I have a question:

I am studying a large Rhodium complex using Ab initio MO and DFT.  I have
noticed that the virials are high - 2.5-3.5.  Does anyone know if this is
"normal" for such systems or, if it is not, why the V/T is so high?

Thanks,

Raelene Lawrence

Subject: Calculation of tensor averages
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit



Dear CCLers,

  I am working on the calculation of NMR shielding tensors by QM
methods.
I have calculated shielding tensors for two conformations of the same
molecule.

  Now I am looking for a way to calculate the average tensor for a given
nucleus assuming that the two conformers have equal probability.
The problem I encounter is that the geometries of the two conformers are
different (bond distances, angles etc.) and that they are differently
oriented in space. How can one calculate the average tensor ?

  More precisely:
- Does a "unique" reference frame exist, such that one can simply
calculate an average element by element : <Tij> = (Aij + Bij) / 2
  And how is it defined ?

- Has anybody already come across this problem ? And are there
literature references ?

  I would be very grateful for any hints, literature references or
comments.

Thank you in advance.

Marc Baaden

                                                       March 25, 1999

The Theoretical Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois is
proud to announce the public release of a new version of NAMD, a
parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for
high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems.  NAMD is
distributed free of charge and includes source code.  NAMD2 is a major
improvement over NAMD 1.5, in both speed and simulation features.

This is a binary-only release of NAMD2.  We still have some additional
code cleanup before releasing the source in a couple of weeks.

NAMD2 is available via the web at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/.
Mail any questions or comments to namd@ks.uiuc.edu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features in NAMD 2.0

- Reads CHARMM (or X-PLOR) formatted parameter files.

- Supports periodic and non-periodic MD simulations.

- Particle mesh Ewald full electrostatics for periodic simulations.

- Triple timestepping.

- Rigid bonds to hydrogen atoms.

- Fixed atoms implemented efficiently, no unnecessary force calculations.

- Berendsen and Langevin piston constant pressure methods.

- Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) features.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Problems?

For problems or questions, send email to namd@ks.uiuc.edu.  If you
think you have found a bug, please include what machine you are
running on, and, if possible, a dump of the program output and/or a
copy of your input files.  Your feedback will help us improve NAMD2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

NAMD2 Known Deficiencies

- PME does not parallelize well and has had limited testing.

- NAMD2 requires X-PLOR or CHARMM to produce the .psf structure input
files.  If you don't have one of these, you probably can't use NAMD2 yet.
