Gaussian 98 include predefined Pseudopotentials. Are they OK for calculating
Lanthanum?
Which one can be used? SDD?
Are they special options for chosing large or small core?
With which basis set?

Hi Steve,

your problem IS due to using a pseudopotential.
It replaces the core electrons and therefore your
calculated electron density at the nucleus is only
the part due to valence electrons. The ECP
represents a frozen arrangement of core-electrons.
Therefore you might add a constant to your
calculated electron density to include the effect of
the core eletrons. Of course, this would not affect
the gradient w.r.t. internuclear distance.

Another possible problem are relativistic effects.
While they can usually be ignored for elements up
to Kr, they are important for heavier elements.
Relativistic effects change the mean radius of
orbitals and influence the coupling of valence
effects (like bonding) to the nuclear region.
It might therefore be a very good idea to use
a HF or DFT program that includes scalar
relativistic effects. That way, you can do
all-electron calculations including the
relativistic effects.

I know that ADF can do this, but I don't
know if it can give you the electron density
at the nuclei. Maybe other CCL members
know the answer. Maybe there are other
programs that can do this, too.

Yours,
     Stefan Fau

At the very least, you'll need to define your own patch, using PHEM as a
guideline.  A secondary problem which may arise at this point is that
some parameters for this configuration of bonded atom types may be
undefined, notably angle and dihedral terms.

With luck you can find someone who already has such a patch; it's not
necessarily a trivial effort to create one.

You might look at the following paper which used the CHARMM force field,
and try contacting the authors:

Mao Y, Woenckhaus J, Kolafa J, Ratner MA, Jarrold MF
Thermal unfolding of unsolvated cytochrome c: Experiment and 
molecular dynamics simulations

Dear CCL, i'm an "Autodock beginner" and i have the two following questions:

1) By reading my macromolecule in AutoDock Tools i become the message "not
integral charge on residue..." what does it mean and which charges are
suitable for working with Autodock? Does ADT accept only formal charges?

2) My macromolecule contains Ca2+, i set Ca2+ = M but i'm still looking
for good Ca2+ parameters, have anyone of you good suggestion?
How do i correct edit the "Ca-line" in my pdb-file?

I'll summarize.
Thank you all in advance
Have a nice weekend
bye mike

Second International Conference on  Applied Statistical   
Physics: Molecular Engineering (ASTATPHYS-MEX- 2003)  
August 25-29, 2003 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  
   

Dear Colleagues,

This is to invite you to contribute with an oral or poster presentation 
in the "Statistical Physics: Molecular Engineering Conference
(ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003)", which will be held on August 25-29, 2003 
in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. 

The Applied Statistical Physics: Molecular Engineering Conference
(ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003) will be the second international meeting of 
its kind. The ASTATPHYS-MEX-2001 was focused on Molecular 
Engineering where over 350 participants from the Americas, Europe 
and Asia attended. The conference proceedings were published 
by Molecular Physics. 

The ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003 Conference will focus on 
exciting topics of Molecular Engineering, with high level scientific 
content. Also, a social program with the traditional warmth and hospitality 
of Latin American people is being planned. The aim of the Conference 
is to gather applied and basic scientists interested in the design and
understanding of nanostructured materials and their applications.
 
The Conference topics will be: molecular design of catalysts and 
nano-catalysts, nano-tubes and fullerenes; magnetic nano-structures, 
nano-circuits, microlithography, supramolecular chemistry, 
nano-biotechnology, petroleomics; quantum engineering, electrokinetic 
phenomena, biological tissue reconstruction, polymers, gene-delivery, 
molecular self assembling, confined complex fluids, ionic channels, 
dynamics of confined fluids, phase transitions and other aspects of 
molecular engineering. What these topics have in common is 
the self-assembling of supramolecular species and/or molecular 
confinement, at micro or nano-scale level. The approach can be, 
for example, chemical synthesis, ATM, electronic microscopy, 
characterization, evaluation and prospective experiments, 
solid and soft condensed matter physics, quantum physics and 
chemistry, and equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical 
mechanics. 

We hope that the various Conference sessions will promote fruitful 
discussions among pure and applied scientists and technologists 
> from all over the world. We all can help to identify key areas of 
opportunity to enhance our understanding of nano-science. 
The program will have both invited and contributed presentations. 
During the Conference, there will be a Technological Exhibition, 
EXPO-ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003, where state-of-the-art experimental 
equipment, computer software and diverse products will be exhibited. 
The excellent facilities of the Nh Krystal Hotel in Puerto Vallarta will 
offer a natural frame to all of the above activities. 

Please check the Conference Web Site:

where submission deadlines, registration costs and all related information on this 
event can be found. Please If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward with pleasure seeing you in Puerto Vallarta in August.

Subject: problem compiling gamess for linux-alpha cluster (with fort,ccc)

Hi.

I'm having problems getting Gamess (US version) to run in parallel on my 
linux-alpha cluster (using Compaq fort and ccc).

Gamess compiles and runs without error on a single processor but crashes with 

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
ddikick: Trapped SIGCHLD: Unexpected termination of a child process.
child process 0: interrupted by parent
child process 3: interrupted by parent
child process 2: interrupted by parent
child process 4: interrupted by parent
child process 5: interrupted by parent
ddikick: A signal has been sent to interrupt all child processes.
ddikick: terminated abnormally.

when I try to run on three processors. I assume the problem is with the settings
in ddikick.c, although I made the changes

"            1. vi compall, to change "cc" t "ccc" in three places
            2. vi comp, changing "f77" to "fort" in compaq-axp clause
            3. vi lked, changing "f77" to "fort" in compaq-axp clause
            4. vi source/ddisoc.c, to add a second trailing underscore
               to all "soc" routine names in the #ifdef COMPAQ clause.
            5. vi source/ddikick.c and source/ddisoc.c, to change
               the #ifdef COMPAQ clause's type cast of "getsockcast"
               from "int" to "unsigned int". 

"
recommended in the IRON.DOC file. 

Any advice you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks,

Joshua Wilkie
