Hello all,

I'd like to plot the electrostatic potential on a cosmo cavity
surface. I have performed the calculations using Turbomole, which has
the GRID option to plot properties on 3D grids. This is where I get my
potential. However, the surface, which in this case is the
cosmo-cavity, on which I'd like to map the electrostatic potential, is
defined by points in space, that is, their xyz-coordinates. Does
anyone know of a program that is able to read these points and create
the surface from it? The program I've used till now, gOpenMol, is able
to take an isosurface of a property of choice, and map another 3D-grid
property on that, but in this case, as my surface is not defined my a
3D grid, this approach does not work.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

I should note that the large Hamiltonian fluctuations are most likely
due to the use of the NOSE thermostat together with VVER algorithm,
which I believe is the only way to do NVT with that integrator in
CHARMM.  (The weak coupling method of Berendsen is not strict NVT, and
requires additional heat baths for multiphase systems such as
water/octane, lipid bilayers, and a protein in water.)

You can use simple trilinear interpolation to map the potential values

real problem you have is that the points do not have a connection table.
Triangulating a general 2D surface in 3-space is not trival since there can be
genuine ambiguity. There are programs that attempt to do it however. If I recall
correctly, some of the early molecular surface codes which generated dot surfaces
attempted triangulation in this fashion. I also recall a paper some years ago
in a SIGGRAPH journal on this subject but I can't find it at the moment.

I'm not familiar with how cosmo cavity is defined. If it is a collection
of spheres of given radius, then you may be able to treat them like a
bunch of atoms and compute a triangulated surface using a molecular surface
algorithm.

Good luck.

Accelrys Inc. will be holding a series of Rational Drug Design workshops
at their European Headquarters in Cambridge, UK, during November 2002.

On November 26-27, the "Introduction to Cerius2 for Life Sciences" workshop
will be offered.  This course provides an overview of molecular
modeling techniques for applications in drug design and combinatorial
chemistry using the Cerius2 graphical user interface. This workshop is
aimed at new customers in the pharmaceutical industry and involved in drug
design who would like to begin using modeling in their research. Basic
usage of Cerius2 will be examined with an introduction to some of the more
advanced applications including QSAR, structure-based drug design, and
combinatorial chemistry.  A knowledge of basic UNIX commands is required

On November 28-29, the "Small Molecule and Drug Design with Cerius2"
workshop will be conducted.  This course is an advanced workshop for
applications in drug design using the Cerius2 graphical user interface.
This workshop is aimed at our customers in the pharmaceutical industry and
involved in drug design who would like to make more effective use of
modeling in their research. QSAR techniques will explored in detail. Also
structure-based drug design methodologies will also be described in
details.  Attendees should either have extensive experience with Cerius2
or have attended the "Introduction to Cerius2 for Life Sciences" workshop.


Fees for the 2-day course are $1200 commercial, $900 government, and $660
academic.

Registration is on-line at URL
http://www.accelrys.com/training/RDD/registration.php.  Further detailed
information about these and other Accelrys training
workshops can be found at the Accelrys website (

Subject: Molecular Orbitals Visualization Shareware
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 21:28:24 +0200

Let me introduce a new shareware software for Molecular Orbitals
visualization, which  uses a technique called
"Volume Rendering" for the  3D visualization of the orbital. It is called
Voxel Time Orbital Viewer.

Using Volume Rendering the software allows to change the threshold
interactively  without any recomputation, enhancing interactivity. The
process is simple and really straightforward, and  facilitate the
understanding of the distribution of density in space.

You can find more information on how Volume Rendering can enhance orbital
Visualization at

http://www.voxeltime.com/Pages/OrbitalViewerIntroduction.html

and you can download the software from

http://www.voxeltime.com/Pages/OrbitalViewer.html

ECCC9 MARCH 2003 - Announcement and Call for Papers

Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to notify you that the Ninth Electronic
Computational Chemistry Conference (ECCC9) will be held
March 1 - March 31, 2003, entirely on the Internet,
at http://eccc9.cooper.edu . ECCC9 is sponsored by the
Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art's
Albert Nerken School of Engineering ( http://www.cooper.edu ).

As in previous years, the conference is multidisciplinary and
covers all aspects of computational and theoretical chemistry,
as well as computational molecular biology, computational
and theoretical molecular and atomic physics, visualization, cheminformatics
and the history of computational chemistry.
Participants will be able to view the presentations and discuss them
entirely through a web browser.

As with the previous eight ECCCs, ECCC9 has NO registration fee
and is a completely virtual, online conference.
There were 230 registered participants in ECCC8, who perused and
discussed 36 presentations by scientists from all
around the world (19 nations and 5 continents were represented
by the presenting authors alone).
The ECCC was originally developed by Steven Bachrach, who
also organized the first five meetings.

Abstracts for all contributions to ECCC9 will be reviewed by the
Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC) to insure novelty, scientific
value, and appropriateness for inclusion in the conference. The
members of the SOC will be announced shortly. All abstracts will
be submitted electronically to the ECCC9 web site.

All presentations must be made in HTML format (no PDB or DOC files)
and ideally will take full advantage of the interactive nature of the
World-Wide Web to present their findings and conclusions.
In addition to completed work, work in progress is also acceptable for
an ECCC9 presentation. Authors may choose to either serve their
contributions from their own local web site, or may request
us to serve them from our own server.
Uploaded contributions will be removed from our server
at the end of ECCC9.

As in ECCC8, a single week-long "interactive" session
will be part of the conference.
This session will be held via asynchronous posting of
questions to the conference
site, which authors can choose to receive either at the
site, at their personal email account, or both. All
authors must commit to having at least one coauthor available
to answer questions (i.e. by checking the discussion board at
least once daily) during the "interactive" session
to provide timely responses (within approximately 24 hours)
to any questions that conferees may have about their online
presentation. Failure to participate fully
in the interactive session may result in a presentation being
withdrawn from the conference.

Important dates for ECCC9 are:

November 11, 2002 - Registration opens; abstracts of papers accepted
December 13, 2002 - Abstracts of presentations due

February 24, 2003 - Final presentations due online

March 1, 2003 - Conference begins
March 17, 2003 - Interactive Session begins
March 24, 2003 - Interactive Session ends
April 1, 2003 - ECCC9 ends

Please note that the deadline for receipt of an abstract
for the conference is December 13, 2003. Please
also note that "posters" which are not completely
ready by the beginning of the conference may be
considered to be withdrawn.

We invite all interested parties to contribute to ECCC9
and participate! Please share this announcement with
your colleagues and post it wherever appropriate so that
ECCC can continue to thrive and be a vital meeting for
the international computational chemistry community. Also,
please feel free to email us with your questions or comments.
