Dear CCL netters:

I am doing a conformational search using the alchemy 2000 program and I
do MM3 geometry optimization of each predicted conformation. I
found that the MM3 energy value of the optimized conformations is not
consistent. I mean after doing MM3 geometry optimzation energy of say 10
conformations and recalculating them again it is not ncessary to get the
same MM3 energy value. Since my molecule has a ring of about 20 atoms I
did the calculations for a similar smaller ring system and I found that
the energy values are consistent which means that the problem is with my
molecule only. I printed the output file with different MM3 energy values
for the same conformation and I noticed that there is a difference of
0.00001 A in the coordinates of some atoms and a difference of 0.0002 in
the initial steric energy values and after the geometry optimization each
output has a different route with quite different final energy and
geometry. I would greatly appreciate it if some one noticed this before
and know a solution to this problem to inform me. Thank you very much in
advance.

Best regards,

Adel El-azhary

Dear all,
we want to give a two day course on molecular modelling to undergraduate
biologists, just an introduction to show what in principal can be done with
e.g. simple force-fields. Has anybody ideas/worked-out examples for that 
purpose? (should be simple and practicable with a MM program equipped
with a graphical interface).
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Stefan

Dear Amor,

VEGA (http://www.ddl.unimi.it) is able to calculate and visualize the
intermolecular interactions in a ligand+protein complex. It is very useful
in the complex analysis as it calculates and shows only the residues that
are involved in complex stabilization (i.e. with a residue energy grater
than a user defined percentage)

Best regards

Giulio

Hello,

Are there any suggestions of Monte Carlo software that can be used for specific determination of hydrogen bonds in a solvent? 

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Dennis

Dear CCLERs,
I am doing a CI calculation on some oganic molecules to compute the UV-VIS
sepctrum. I found that:
1- poor agreement between computed and observed band positions
2- the AM1 band positions are closer to the observed ones than that
calculated using ab-initio method.

I am using G98.
Could anyone comment on these findings.

thanks sin advance
Tarek

Go to http://www.iupac.org
Type "ichi" in the search box
The first link is http://www.iupac.org/projects/2000/2000-025-1-800.html


It's a stretch to say that the IChI project has much of anything to do with
nomenclature.
