Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi!

Thanks for all the hints. The best and most conclusive answer is the
following:

Don't use rasmol 2.6, use rasmol 2.7!
(I was not aware that this version is already existing.)
There are no problems to compile it with Linux 2.2.x/egcs.

Get it from:
ftp://ftp.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/rasmol 

Cheers!

Hi,

I have been asked to make a movie (preferably in avi format) of a MD
simulation for a high school program that we have.  I am not quite sure
how to go about doing this.  Note .. all my MD simulation have been

Any help about methods or packages which can do this would be welcome.

hi andreas,

have a look at the program gambuild of pablo wessig from
the humboldt university, berlin:

http://pro122lin.chemie.hu-berlin.de/wessig/software/

gambuild is a very nice interface to pc-gamess which makes
job preparing, queuing and control very easy.
gambuild works under win95 and winnt. you can download a trial
version which expires after 30 days.

REPLIES TO QUESTION ON ACTIVATION ENERGY AND STABILITY

Thanks very much to all (below) who responded to my question (below)

   E. Lewars
==============

QUESTION:

1999 June 24

Hello,
Does anyone know have some *experimental facts* for the relationship between
ab initio (or DFT, or semiempirical) calculated activation enewrgies and
stability? I mean simply the transition state energy minus the reactant energy,
for formally unimolecular reactions, e.g. isomerizations, or decompositions.
  How high does the calculated barrier have to be for the compound to be
isolable at room temperature, for example, from actual experience in the lab?

  Thanks

Subject: Re: CCL:CALC ACTIVATION E AND STABILITY

Hi,

  As in fact, I am modeling some system ivolving the isomerization and
reactions. Depending on the syetems you are interested, the barrier
varies from about 2 Kcal/mol to several decads Kcal/mol like 30 or 50.
Of course this also depending on the methods you use. Usually HF
overestimates the barrier(UMP2 for open shell too). While DFT (in general)
underestimates the barrier ( however depending on what kind of DFTs you
chose, hybrid DFT behave better than GGA and LSDA in many cases). There
are lots of works about this topic, you may want to check in Chem. Phys.
Lett., J. Phys. Chem. or J. Chem. Phys. or another European journals.

 Another point for stability.

  DFT is better than HF for stability.

Subject: Re: CCL:CALC ACTIVATION E AND STABILITY
To: elewars@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca (E. Lewars)

Hi,

Concerning activation energies from DFT etc: simply the transition state
energy minus the reactant energy - that's exactly, how it's done -
entropic factors, however are not taken care of this way, but you can do
that as well from a force calculation. We have one or two examples, where
there was a good match between the experimental data and theory.
 
Experimentally
at RT, 25 kcal/mol is usually what one considers OK and gives you a half
life of one day (unimolecular rxn). However, if required, experimental
chemist can go down to the 15+ kcal/mol range, to isolate compounds,
below this temperature things are getting more nasty, but it is possible,
too, by instant freezing techniques and assuming that the compound is
stable in the solid state. So just assume that you need in the range of
some minutes to an hour to handle things and then use the Eyring equation
to calculate the barrier at a given temperature!
Clearly, I am referring here to preparative techniques rather than matrix
isolation or gasphase studies.

Best wishes

Peter

Dear CCL'ers,

I am making freely available my SDF toolkit, which I (and other
people in my Lab) have found useful when working with SD files,
especially large ones (such as the NCI Open Database).

SDF or Structure Data File is a common file format developped by
Molecular Design Limited to handle a list of molecular structures
associated with properties.

The purpose of this SDF toolkit is to provide functions to read and parse
SDFs, filter, and add/remove properties.  It can also read comma separated
value (CSV) tables which contain new fields to be added to the SDF file.
A typical application would be to add to an existing SD file calculated
Log P values or biological data exported from a spreadsheet.  The new SDF
can thereafter be displayed with the new data fields with e.g. ChemFinder,
the CACTVS system browser csbr, and probably many other programs.

The SDF toolkit is written in Perl 5, a free, widely available, scripting
language.

One useful application (at least for me) that has been written with this
toolkit: "add_prop_sdf".  This script reads an SDF, adds properties from a
comma separated values (CSV) file and prints out the new SDF file. Also of
interest may be the script "select_sdf" which can be used to extract
specific records from an SDF.

The SDF_toolkit is freely available under the GNU public license.

The toolkit can be downloaded, and more information found, at:

The problem you encountered seems to be quite similar to the one  I encountered on Linux (the program stops at the same
place).  The cause might be the same : insufficient stack space. I would like to suggest to make a few changes to the
source code, as I described previously on this list:

"
The readPDBQ() function allocates  multidimensional arrays on the stack. The easiest solution is to patch
the source code by changing the declaration type for these arrays. For example, the line readPDBQ.cc:82

char  record[ MAX_RECORDS ][ LINE_LEN ];

can be patched  to :

static  char  record[ MAX_RECORDS ][ LINE_LEN ];

. I have applied such a change to each local  array declaration in readPDBQ.cc.  The static keyword  tells the compiler
to allocates the local variables in the heap
(permanent storage) and not on the stack (transient storage). This is not a problem here because this function is called
only once. Also, beside crash suppression,
this  patch provides automatic initialization of the  local variable "Rec_atomnumber" in the function readPDBQ, which
otherwise would be  used unitialized (i.e. might
contain random data).

The same patch procedure should be applied to the file analysis.cc to avoid crashing during analysis.
"

Hopes this can help,

Bruno

Hi,

   This is a question related to symmetry...
Is there any free source code which can be used to determinate the =
molecule, orbital, and/or vibration symmetry?=20

I will summarize this question. Thanks!
