Subject: CCL: help please with ECEPP package
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

Dear all,

I am new to the protein conformation analysis package ECEPP.

As test cases, we have run test calculations for
           (end unit) -- amino acid -- (end unit)
where amino acid = Proline, Alanine or Histidine.
We'd like to confirm our minimum-energy configurations and compare
to experiment to get a better "feel" for the program.

Are the experimental configurations (all dihedral angles)
published? (We have only those for alanine from Floudas's papers.)

For glycine and cystiene, ECEPP refuses to calculate
anything saying that these amino acids should have "bridges".
How can I get rid of the "bridges"?

Thank you

Kieran

Hi, I was wandering if someone couldtell me if there is a difference
between Gamess-US and Gamess-UK. Are they actually two different programs
and if so is one better than the other.
I was also wandering if there was some software that can not only help
visualise results from Gamess output but also help setup the files.

Thanks you in advance.

I've been trying to get Autodock distribution 3.05 to work on either 
a Red Hat Linux machine and on a SGI running IRIX 6.3 .


The problem I have when I try to dock into my protein structure is
that Autodock always docks my small ligand on top of protein residues
in positions that are obviously impossible.


That occurs on both systems with all kinds of ligands,
with the precompiled binaries, with the ones I compiled myself,
with standard mkgpf3/mkdpf3 files, 
who can help ?


Should I use an older/newer version ?



Thank you very much,

I have a Windows program that will read a Gaussian (only tested on Gaussian
98W) output file, extract the vibrational data (frequency, IR and Raman
intensities) and apply a lineshape.

This lineshape can be pure Gaussian, pure Lorentzian or mixed
Gaussian-Lorentzian with a user specified weighting. The linewith for the IR
and Raman data can be individually adjusted.

The program will then write out two files. One contains just the original
frequency/intensity data extracted from the Gaussian file (output of this
file is optional). The other will contain the simulated spectral data and
the program has options for the data range (e.g.. 200 - 1800 cm-1) and the
frequency of points (e.g.. every 0.5 cm-1).

If this is of use, let me know.

Daniel

Hi All,

I'm looking for a program (free software if possiple) that is able to

Answers will be summarized, of course.

I had asked if there was a difference between ZINDO/S and ZINDO-1 and which
was in Gaussian 98, which listed ZINDO-1.

Here are the primary responses:

yes, there are differences. They are mostly in atomic parameters. ZINDO/S is
for spectroscopic simulations (and the method is pretty good at it!).
ZINDO/1 is for geometry optimizations (and the method is not so good,
unfortunately...).
There was a development (see Int. J. Quantum Chemistry, vol.81, 187-201,
2001) by M.C.Zerver group in Florida to fix some problems with ZINDO/1 but I
think that the changes have been implemented only in the original ZINDO
program, not in Gaussian 98 or HyperChem.
				Regards,

Serge
________________________________________________________________

	Sergey I. Gorelsky

A bit of history:

The "1" in ZINDO-1  (originally called INDO/1) comes from the way the
one-center core integrals were obtained from ionization potentials only (as
in the original CNDO/1 model) and uses an empirical expression for the
two-center coulomb integrals.  In Mike's original paper from TCA 1973, they
developed the first spectroscopic parameterization for this approach and
applied it to benzene, pyrrole and the azines.
This method became known as the INDO1/S. Due to the popularity of
Mike's ZINDO program, over time the method simply became known as 
ZINDO/s
The INDO/1 (for geometries) approach uses somewhat different parameters and
employs analytical two-center coulomb integrals over Slater orbitals.  It
was fairly useful for geometry optimization for transition metal systems,
especially since no other popular semi-empirical approach could treat these
systems at the time.  However, for general organic systems, INDO/1 (or
ZINDO-1) gave poor results.
The ZINDO/s method has become more popular with the passing of time. This is
remarkable for a semi-empirical method first developed in the early 70's.
Mike and I used it to do some of the first calculations of the bacterial
photosynthetic reaction center; involving hundreds of quantum-mechanically
treated atoms.  At the time this calculation required a Cray supercomputer
to run.  Later, at PNNL, I used ZINDO in a QM/MM polarizable model I
developed to re-run the reaction center calculations, this time including
the entire reaction center protein in the calculation (as polarizable MM
atoms) with very good results (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, vol 99,  6374).  This
calculation ran on a fast workstation.  (now I can routinely rerun these
calculations on the pc from which I am typing this message).
Over the years, Mike was very interested in getting a single semi-empirical
Hamiltonian to work well for both geometries and spectra.  In the last 3
years, Mike, Kotker Rosch, and Alexander Voityuk did some interesting work
on NDDO-G, which was a new semi-empirical scheme meant to address this issue
(J. Phys. Chem A. 1999, vol 103, 4553).
There was never any "official" ZINDO/s parameterization that was published
with statistical analysis like the AM1 and PM3 methods.  For the first row
and first transition series the parameters were pretty much stabilized over
the years.  However, they would often be changed for a particular paper to,
for example, improve n->pi* transitions, or to improve triplet spectra.
A few years ago, I helped the Gaussian developers with some of the more
obscure ZINDO issues when they were implementing their version of ZINDO.  To
my knowledge, the Gaussian implementation and our ArgusLab implementation of
ZINDO should agree pretty well.  We are putting in a parameter editor to the
next version of ArgusLab to allow for easier modification of ZINDO
parameters and to allow new elements to be added.  I don't know how
HyperChem's results compare with Gaussian and ArgsuLab.
Hope this helps a bit.

> From two readers, including one from Gaussian, confirmation that the version
of ZINDO in Gaussian 98 is ZINDO/2, even though the documentation suggests
otherwise.

Finally, a caution about use:

word of advise, be careful with zindo and anions. I am getting very funny
results with that.

Hi,

I wonder if there are programs that can calcultes the volume of a protein
pocket, ideally, such programs should allow users some flexibility in
defining pockets.  Thanks.

Hello everyone! I am attempting to draw molecules in ISIS Draw (MDL MOL
file), and convert them to acceptable GAUSSIAN98 formats, using Babel.
Do any of you have an idea of which format is ok to convert to for G98,
using BAbel? I have tried many different variants, but the problem is that
the structure as drawed in ISIS is far away from energetically favourable,
even the bond lengths are  60-70% shorter than what they should be
(according to the AMBER5 FF). PDB format was tried too, but G98 doesn't
recognize, and "says" "BAD ATOMIC DATA" .
Are there any specific preference for PDB import in G98?

Best Regards

Sergio

If your wavenumber/intensity data are from Gaussian9x, and you are 
using a Mac,there is a free program called Gaussian Companion that 
will read a Gaussian output file, extract the vibrational data 
(frequency, IR and Raman
intensities) and apply a lineshape. The lineshape can be either 
Gaussian or Lorentzian, and the linewiths can be (collectively) 
adjusted. The spectrum displayed can be either IR or Raman, or all 
bands.
