Jon,
	You should check out our LOGKOW program
http://esc.syrres.com/~esc1/estsoft.htm
	It is one of the most accurate available and does not have any missing
fragment problems (see J. Pharm Sci 84:83-92,1995). The program also has a
unique feature that allows the user to adjust the estimation using an
experimental octanol/water partition coefficient from a
structurally-related chemical compound. Batch file processing is also
possible.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have experience with the MOLZYME module of MOPAC2000.  We
have been running it of a DELL XPS-T500 and it requires a LOT of memory
for minimizing a 28 kDa protein.  Does anyone have a memory requirement
for something like a SGI Octane?

Thanks

Deepak.

CCL:

TD-DFT theory appears to provide a useful approach to the electronic 
spectra of many molecules.  In our lab, TD-B3LYP calculations 
(Gaussian98w, vs. 5.0) have satisfactorily reproduced transition 
energies and relative intensities for several organic chromophores.  
However, the absolute intensities are much too low: The predicted 
oscillator strengths are one order of magnitude too small, compared 
with data derived from experimental spectra.  The discrepancy does 
not seem to depend significantly on basisset.

Is this a problem intrinsic to TD-DFT?  What is the 
explanation?

Well, these coordinates have been used "since day 1" in polymer
simulations (and small molecules also", given cartesian coordinates
and connectivity of the atoms (list of bonds, angles, and torsions)
calculating bond lengths should be trivial,
first: calculate the vectors for all bonds:
l=r_i-r_j, bond length - is it's length ,
angle between two
bonds is calculated from the scalar product of two bond vectors:
cos(phi) = l_i*l_(i+1)/|l_i||l_(i+1)|

torsions are a little trickier, but also not hard:
torsional angle is an angle between the planes made up by three successuve
bonds l_(i-1), l_i, l_(i+1), normals to the planes are a=[l_i x l_(i-1)]
and b=[l_(i+1) x l_i] ([ x ] - stands for the cross-product of two
vectors. Torsional angle can be determined as angle between a and b,

I hope it will not take you long to write a simple program to implement
these calculations.


More details can be found in any simulation text of which the
standard is M.P.Allen and D.J.Tildesley "Computer Simulations of liquids"
or in a series of papers from group of prof.  Ueli Suter, Doros N.

I am not sure about the window versions of G98.  For the unix releases,
TD-DFT oscillator strength was not implemented (even though the numbers
appear in the print out) until release A7. However, I don't think the
present implementation is correct.  I have tried to contact Gaussian but got
no response.  It is unfortunate that Gaussian did not mention this in their
release notes.

In particular, I'm interested in various approaches that have been tried for
ring-systems.

(As usual, a summary of responses will follow.)

Thanks in advance,
