Hi, 

My question might be a cliche in this list. But, where to download BABEL?
Any clue will be highly appreciated. 

Best wishes,

Arthur

Hi altogether,

I perform calculations with GAUSSIAN 94 and GAUSSIAN 98. Now I need to
know the symmetries of the calculated MO's but GAUSSIAN is not able to
specify the symmetries good enough. Does anybody know a program (or an
internet page respectively) which helps to determine them?

Another similar problem is to assign the irreducible representations to
the calculated frequencies of a GAUSSIAN frequency job. Does anybody
know a program which is able to do this?

Thanks in advance

Thomas

Dear Dave:

Finally, much thanks to your kind encouragement and reminders, I have found
and read and thought about the "SOMFA" method. No doubt you are right, SOMFA
is just a one component PLS model in disguise.

Eqn.1 in the paper is exactly the equation for the first PLS weight vector
(w1), except for a normalization factor (which does not change any of the
results or the equivalence).

Hence, eqn. 2 gives the score values (t1) = X w1     (again, except for a
normalization factor).

If you now have many "blocks" of properties, say size, polarity,
lipophilicity, ..., each being paramterized by a separate "probe", the
weights and scores above will be "partial", each referring to a
non-orthogonal property array. Then ordinary PLS would combine these in the
regression step corresponding to eq.3.

Eqn. 3 looks like a different approach to finding the value of c1, but when
you maximize the correlations graphically as in fig.s 5 and 6, you actually
make a regression (but graphically).

The fact that "SOMFA" gives better results than other methods in the
comparison (table 4) just indicates that the others should have had just one
component. You indeed show that Comfa with one PLS component gives identical
results to "SOMFA".

I don't know what you want to do with this -- I will certainly spread this
among my QSAR friends.

Allt he best // Sincerely // Svante

Not cliche at all.  The old babel host at University of Arizona
died quite a while ago.  Babel lives in a lot of places on the net,
but the "official" distribution site is 

http://www.eyesopen.com/babel.html

Have fun,

Since there is some interest in the question, I will post my solution. I
suppose this is the same as the original question.


The original question: Given 3 points, A(a1, a2, a3), B(b1,b2,b3) and
C(c1,c2, c3), find the coordinate of a fourth point (or atom) D(x,y,z)
 provided with the following 3 conditions:
   	distance BD,
        angle ABD,
        angle ACD.
 
I propose the following recipe, 

(1) Find distances, AD and CD based upon
the angle and distance of the related triangles. 

(2) Using the angle and
distances in triangle ABD, set up an equation: (a1-b1)(x-b1) +
(a2-b2)(y-b2)+ (a3-b3)(z-b3)= AB. BD.cos(ABD). Similarly, set two other
equations like this one. 

(3) Solve the 3 linear equations for x, y, and z.

Besides, there is a more standard procedure than this, namely DISTANCE
GEOMETRY method. It is not really necessary for this problem.

Sincerly,

Daquan Gao

Subject: RE: CCL: GEOMETRY QUESTION

The problem outlined below was recently proposed to the list for comment:

Given a fragment A-B-C, one wishes to attach a fourth atom, D, with the
available information being:

                r(BD)
                <(ABD)
                <(CBD)

how can one *uniquely* define the coordinates of D??

There is not enough information to define D uniquely.  Consider the situation
with the ABC fragment is constrained to the xy-plane:

                     A
                    /
                D--B
                    \
                     C

Unless the angles <(ABC), <(ABD), & <(CBD) sum to 360 deg., ther will be 2
solutions for the coordinates of D, differing in the algebraic sign for the 
z-coordinate.  In order to uniquely locate D one needs one additional piece
of information.  Two possibilities are:

        out-of-plane angle (signed) for the BD bond

        dihedral angle A-C-B-D (signed)
