The Journal of the Chemical Computing Group - JCCG (CCG's web site)
has posted a new "edition".

Included are articles on:

1.  Protein Structure and Family Data in MOE 2001.01: The contents of the
MOE structural family database are summarized, and compared to the
protein families and superfamilies in the SCOP. The new capabilities of
MOE's PDB reader are also summarized.

2.  Locating Binding Sites in Protein Structures:  A methodology is
presented for locating candidate active sites in protein structures.
The method is based upon alpha shape analysis of 3D protein coordinates.

3.  Probabilistic Receptor Potentials: A methodology is presented for
determining the preferred locations of ligand atoms when given the 3D
coordinates of a receptor. The approach is based upon fitting experimental
data with analytical probability distributions.

In additon, you can find information on MOE - the Molecular Operating
Environment,
Company Background and past articles and features.

hi everyone,

I tried to search on the list archives regarding nwchem and it only
outputed 4 results and none solved my question. Anyway, I'm wondering if
anyone knows where I could find instructions on installing NWchem on a
linux cluster? Can anyone help me?

Greetings:
	I hope this question is not too far off-topic; it does actually
relate to my feeble attempts at modeling fluorescent and phosporescent
materials.	
	I have reviewed a couple of physical chemistry books concerning
these two topics, and to be quite honest, either they have not explained it
well, or I am missing the big picture.  If you don't mind, I would like to
explain to you what I think is going on, and then you could correct me, or
refer me to some good sources to set me straight.

Fluorescence:
A photon comes in and excites a molecule in a ground state (are most ground
states "singlet states"?) to an excited state (I am assuming that one cannot
excite to a triplet state). There is a percentage or probability that this
excited state will relax back down to the ground state by emissive means,
emitting a photon of light that is smaller than the homo-lumo band gap of
the ground state molecule.  The molecule can also lose its energy through
non-emissive means such as heat.  The energy cannot move from the excited
singlet state to a lower energy triplet state due to the need to conserve
momentum.

Phosphorescence:  Exitation occurs as above, except energy in this case is
allowed to move from the excited singlet state to a lower energy triplet
state through intersystem crossing (which was forbidden in the previous
scenario).  The triplet state in turn can relax to the (singlet?) ground
state via emission because of spin orbital coupleing with the heavy
nucleus).

Does this sound right?  Have I left something out which is important?

Thanks.

WELCOME TO ECCC7 AND OPENING REMARKS 

On behalf of the ECCC7 Scientific Organizing Committee, the ECCC7 Web
Organizing Committtee, Chris Lent, Bob Hopkins and myself, it is my
pleasure to welcome everyone to the 7th Electronic Computational Chemistry
Conference at http://eccc7.cooper.edu . 

Feel free to browse ECCC7 over the course of the weeks to come. Comment
on, and ask questions about, individual "posters" as you see fit. PLEASE
participate in discussions, and feel free to ask any question, no matter
how small. Please use http://eccc7.cooper.edu to post ALL comments and
email about ECCC7 from now on, using your DISCUS username and password.
PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT OR RESPOND TO COMMENTS BY EMAIL. They will just end
up going to my personal mail box, and I will go crazy trying to deal with
them (if I get swamped I may just have to delete them all). 

As a reminder, the conference schedule will be as follows: 

April 2, 2001 - Conference begins 
April 19, 2001 - Interactive Session begins 
April 26, 2001 - Interactive Session ends 
April 30, 2001 - Conference ends 

During the "interactive session," all authors are responsible for checking
their contribution's discussion section frequently and responding to all
questions online WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THEIR POSTING (more or less). This is
as interactive as a conference spanning more than 17 countries, 11 U.S.
states, and almost every time zone is going to get (at least for now).
There will be no "chat sessions" in this year's ECCC. 

At this time I would like to acknowledge Eleanor Baum, Dean of Cooper
Union's School of Engineering, who provided the majority of the funding
for ECCC7. In the spirit of Cooper Union's "tuition-free" policy, ECCC is
still free and will remain that way because of her enthusiastic support.
We would welcome any donations in support of future ECCC's. 

I would also like to single out two members of the WOC; Dominic Coluccio,
who has led our web development team from its inception, and Heather
Hauck, who implemented the DISCUS PRO interface, designed the "look and
feel" of the board, and worked with Dominic to get everyone's submissions
up and running online. ECCC7 would not be happening without their efforts. 

It's my pleasure to recognize the Scientific Organizing Committee members
(Dave Ferguson, Francis Muguet, Yi-Ping Liu, Jan Gershom Martin and Mark
Tuckerman) for their efforts in ensuring the high quality of this year's
presentations. In addition, I would like to recognize Steve Bachrach, the
originator of ECCC, for talking me into doing this in the first place.
Thanks, Steve, from all of us. And let us not forget Jan Labanowski,
founder and organizer of the Computational Chemistry List
(http://www.ccl.net), which made the ECCC7 announcements possible.
CCL needs and deserves all of our support. 

Finally, I want to thank the authors for all of their patience and hard
work, without whom ECCC7 would not be possible. Let's have a great
meeting! 

Robert Topper 

Chair, ECCC7 Scientific Organizing Committee 
The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

Dear Jess,
  Please read the INSTALL directions that come with the distribution.  Also,
there are several other places that you can get this type of information:

The NWChem FAQ page:
http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/docs/nwchem/support/NWChem_FAQ.html
The nwchem-users list archives:
http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/docs/nwchem/nwchem-support/
Sending an email to the nwchem-users list itself: more info at

Dear CCLers,
I need to use Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization of three dimensional wave
functions in my work. It's said in "Numerical Recipes" that naive
Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is terrible, and that singular value
decomposition (SVD) method can serve as an alternative to G-S method. 
I wonder whether there are some stable numerical algorithms which is 
a straightforward modification to G-S algorithms.
Are there any other alternative orthogonalization methods
which are conceptually  simpler than SVD?
Since the wave functions in my work are not necessarily symmetric, it
seems that conventional methods for symmetric matrix are not valid to my
system. 
Thanks for considerations!
	Hong Jiang
