Good news for OSX users -- the Mac can finally do fast OpenGL graphics under X11!

With OSX 10.2.3, the public X11 beta, and Fink, you can now install a complete version of PyMOL on a Mac without compromising performance.  The same should be true for most of your other favorite X11/OpenGL graphics programs.

You can find two sets of instructions on how to do this linked from the PyMOL home page.

Cheers,
Warren

Dear Listmembers,

can anyone point me to the reference to the 6-31+g(d) basis set for
arsenic used in Gaussian98.
The EMSL Gaussian Basis Set Order Form says that 6-31+G(d) is not
available for As. Also the Gaussian homepage tells me that it is not
available for As.
This basis set does not look like a typical 6-31g kind of basis.

Thanks in advance, Stefan.

There are several programs available; I'd recommend OpenDX
(http://www.opendx.org) or VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd).
The APBS software package (http://agave.wustl.edu/apbs) has routines
to convert UHBD data to formats compatible with those programs.

Hope this helps,

Nathan

Hi All --

APBS uses Mike Holst's PMG/MG multigrid software package for numerical
solution of the PBE.  Additionally, Mike's original software pacakge
is available from his web site
(http://scicomp.ucsd.edu/~mholst/codes/pmg/index.html).

Have fun!

Dear CCLers,

I am nominating Jan Labanowski for ACS's Patterson-Crane Award (see http://membership.acs.org/C/Colu/welcome.html) and I am in need of seconding letters.  There is no limit and the Chair of the awards committee says that the more supporting material the better so I'd be obliged if you would send me email with a statement on what CCL means to you and how it's helped your career. 

Sincerely,

MONTREAL, January 9, 2003  - Today Chemical Computing Group (CCG) =
together with the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Division of =

Excellence Awards to be presented at the Spring 2003 ACS National =

 The awards will be presented on Tuesday, March 25 at the Computers in =
Chemistry poster session, which begins at 6pm

=20

The contest was created to stimulate graduate student participation at =
ACS National Meetings in COMP division poster sessions and symposia and =
has been effective in doing so.  "The growth in response to this contest =
since its inception is very gratifying.  Not only did we double the =
number of awards presented, but the submissions received multiplied =
substantially.  The contest is intended to encourage interaction between =
scientists and the competing students, which is beneficial to these =
future computational chemists.  CCG will continue to work with COMP to =
help facilitate this exchange of information," said Pamela Newton, =
Director of Sales and Marketing at CCG. =20

=20

Winners were chosen based upon the quality and significance of the =
research presented as well as the strength of the supporting materials.  =
The COMP executive committee had a difficult task of judging, as =
competition was fierce due to the quantity and quality of entries.  The =
following winners will receive a one-year software license for CCG's MOE =
-The Molecular Operating Environment and reimbursement for travel costs =
to attend an ACS meeting to present their research:

Dear Netters,

I have tried to use the G98 keyword 'Field' in order to get HFS in the 
presence of magnetic field but received message:

 ---------------------------------------------
 #P UB3LYP EPR-II IOp(6/12=3) SCFCYC=350 Field
 ---------------------------------------------
  QPERR --- A SYNTAX ERROR WAS DETECTED IN THE INPUT LINE.
                     '
 Last state="FFld"
 TCursr=11038 LCursr=****
 Error termination via Lnk1e in 

Where it is my mistake?

Best regards, Arvydas Tamulis

Hi Nathan and all,

Thanks for forwarding this email.  The elliptic solver PMG/MG that
is used by APBS for the low-level solve of the Poisson-Boltzmann 
equation definitely produces accurate solutions to a very
general class of 3D scalar nonlinear elliptic problems.  It has
been used for almost ten years by a number of independent groups,
and has been thoroughly tested on a large range of model problems
with various features.

Due to the fairly complex PDE interface that I gave PMG/MG for
efficiency, it is pretty easy to make a mistake in specifying
the PDE; I predict that this is what you are running into, if the
PMG/MG numerical solution does not agree with a known analytical solution.

If you are specifically interested in solving the Poisson-Boltzmann
equation, then you should definitely use APBS rather than PMG/MG
directly; an enormous amount of work was put into APBS to model the
electrostatics problem correctly using the Poisson-Boltzmann approach.
I don't think you want to try to recreate this structure independently;
there are a lot of subtle difficulties with the Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
PMG/MG then does the low-level solution of the elliptic systems, only after
APBS has done all of the subtle mathematical modeling correctly.

Best regards, -mike

Greetings!

I have just recently experienced with Gaussian98 (A.11) a rather strange
phenomenon in the optimization of two relatively large systems (roughly 8
and 9 benzene rings, respectively) and was wondering if anyone else had
dealt with a similar situation.  The two systems are being optimized with
b3lyp/6-31g* and, as can be seen from the data below, experience a rather
dramatic jump on the potential surface before the calculation 'dies':

system 1
 ....
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2650.61985735     A.U. after   21 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2650.62040110     A.U. after   12 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2650.62085039     A.U. after   12 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -272.331239212     A.U. after   65 cycles


system 2
 ....
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2959.08379965     A.U. after    9 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2959.08380915     A.U. after   10 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -2959.08383462     A.U. after   11 cycles
 SCF Done:  E(RB+HF-LYP) =  -1425.06108568     A.U. after   65 cycles

If anyone has a potential answer as to why such a large jump would occur
and/or how to try to prevent such a phenomenon in the future, I would
greatly appreciate it.  I will post any interesting replies.

Thanks for the assistance.

Regards
Chad

As well, here is the input that I utilized to define the calculation:

#P b3lyp/6-31g*
   GFInput  IOP(6/7=3) 6D 10F POP=full GFPRINT
   IOP(99/14=1)
   Opt(gdiis)
