Apologies for the continued bandwidth...

We neglected to mention that the ArgusLab 3.1 upgrade is free to ArgusLab
3.0 users.  The instructions for what to do are contained in the readme.txt
file contained in the download.

Basically, you simply uninstall your copy of ArgusLab 3.0 and install
ArgusLab 3.1.  Your eLicense should recognize 3.1 with no further effort on
your part.

Please send us email at "bugs@arguslab.com" if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Mark

Subject: Problem with ADT
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Clueless in Columbus - starting AutoDock Tools.  I've installed 
complete1.5_i86Linux2_acad.tar.Z.  When I start adt, after sourcing 
install.bash, I get the message:

         'polygonOffset extension FAILED'

I would assume this is a python error, as adt, seems to work,. but my 
question is what have I failed to install?

I am running the SuSE v7.1 Linux distribution.

Thanks in advance.

I made a program that implement Kabsch algorithm in a visual windows
program. It's free, but it's a beta version yet. If you want a copy, send me
a e-mail and I'll send it to you... ok???!!!

hi eric,

are you familiar with the program babel? it transforms various molecular
visualization formats. you can read more and get it from this web site

http://smog.com/chem/babel/

hope this helps

 Dear Paul,

I have adopted a different approach to the problem of aligning and/or 
comparing two structures.  The approach is detailed in the paper:
"A rapid method for comparing and matching the spherical parameter
surfaces of molecules and other irregular objects" J. Mol. Graphics,
1989,7,130.

The method is implemented in various forms in the Interchem suite of 
programs.  In INTERCHEM (for SGI machines) or INTERCHEM-PC (for 
Windows machines) there was no problem in aligning your two structures.
Although the rms residuals were not exactly zero the two structures
overlaid pretty well.  A more sever case would be exemplified by 
linear molecules such as acetylene.  Again there was no problem.

The software is available by following links from:
http://www.interprobe.co.uk/inter/interprobe.html

The software is free to academics but commercial enterprises are
expected to pay a fee.
Cheers

Peter Bladon

Hello all,

As there has been a rash of AIM questions as of late, I'd like to add one
more.

If I take ethane and run a minimization of the structure at the
RB3LYP/6-31G(d) level I obtain a perfectly nice structure as expected.  I
can take the Cartesian coordinates from the Gaussian output and create an
XYZ file that can be read within several programs, including the free
ViewerLite from Accelrys. All looks good, and I measure very reasonable C-C
bond lengths of 1.53 A, C-H bond of 1.10 and  a C-C-H angle of 111.4 (and I
say all this just to prove I can create an XYZ file properly!).

I then performed an AIM analysis on this structure within G98W (keywords:
output=wfn punch=archive aim).  Furthermore, I then took the wavefunction
generated and subjected it to a calculation of its critical points in the
(formerly free) program AIM2000.

Both G98W and AIM2000 generated exactly the same Cartesian coordinates for
the "attractors" and for the critical points on the attractor interaction
lines. (ok: so I can perform an AIM calculation properly, too!)

Finally, I simply lifted the cartesian coordinates from either of these two
output files and created a new XYZ file (I use ghost atoms (Bq) to define
the critical points). When I view the structure though, the C-C bond is now
2.89 A (!!) and the C-H bond 2.04 A but the C-C-H bond angle remains the
same.  (the same holds true if the Bq atoms are not included in the file).

As the "attractors" are expected to simply be the atomic nuclei, why are the
bond distances different from the minimized structure?  The answer is not
obvious to me.

Dear Paul:

Your problem arises because of the "non-equivalent" sequential numbering of
atoms between the two structures. Using RasMol (with -mol2 option), and with
"label %i" command, you will see the numbering of carbons atoms in your two
structures as follows:


              15-----16            05-----04    
             /         \          /         \   
            /           \        /           \  
#1         14           17------06           03 
            \           /        \           /  
             \         /          \         /   
              13-----12            01-----02    



              13-----12            05-----04    
             /         \          /         \   
            /           \        /           \  
#2         14           17------06           03 
            \           /        \           /  
             \         /          \         /   
              15-----16            01-----02    


The RMSD (using only C atoms) is 1.3285 A. If you simply swap (12<--->16)
and (13<--->15) in structure #2, you will get RMSD to be zeros, as you would
expect. 

If you would like to know more about ls-fitting between two structures and
ls-fitting of a plane to a set of atoms, with working examples, you might
find the following URL helpful:

What about the conversion of Angstrom to Bohr...
1 Bohr = 0.529177 Angstrom
AIM2000 is working in a.u. system.

hope this helps...

Has anyone been able to get Babel for mac to work on a G3/G4 with System
9.x? I used to use this a while back, but now just get errors with either
the with or without fpu code (won't execute). I'm using the only versions
I can find; macbabel 1.3.

Of course I tried Babel first which I thought is the
standard way to do this kind of thing. However babel
can not assign the correct residue name according the
cartesian coordinates (with the atom types).

Since:

2.89*0.529 = 1.53 and 2.04*0.529 = 1.08 and the angle is the same, that
strongly suggests that 2.89 and 2.04 are distances in atomic units, not
Angstrom.

Is there a program that, given a Gaussian freq checkpoint file, will compute
GAPT charges and the d(dipole)/d(atom.xyz) tensors?

Dear Gary,

Your unexpected bond distances look suspiciously like they are given in bohrs 
and not angstroms (2.89 * 0.529177 = 1.53)  I'll bet the outputs are generated 
in atomic units.

Hello all,

I am considering applying for an allocation of time on one of the NPACI =
supercomputerrs to run Gaussian 98 calculations.  I am wondering thought =
if Gaussian98 was written to run nicely in parallel on thesee machines =
or is it just as good on a single processor machine?  Thank you to =
everyone.
