Dear Friends in Computational Chemistry,

	It is with great excitement and anticipation that I announce a new phase for PyMOL:  Beginning April 3rd, 2003, I will be committed FULL-TIME to the development, documentation, and support of this Open-Source package through my limited liability company, DeLano Scientific LLC.

	This step is made possible through financial sponsorship received from a small group of PyMOL users during the past 18 months.  Thank you very much for that.  Your backing has given me the courage to launch even in these uncertain times.  Don't let terrorism, recession, war, or epidemics dissuade you -- you only get one life in which to pursue your dreams!

  	Fortunately, my five-year relationship with Sunesis Pharmaceuticals continues on good terms, and the company will remain an active test site for PyMOL though I will no longer be an employee.  All of us owe Sunesis a debt of gratitude for nurturing the development of this package over the past several years. 

	PyMOL now enters a critical time.  We absolutely must secure additional funding in order to sustain our activities.  While we hold out hope for a large influx from big pharma, so far it has not yet materialized.  Nevertheless, because we are starting out small and efficient, we can succeed this year mainly on grass-roots academic and small-company sponsorship if each of you takes the initiative within your organization to support PyMOL.

	Thus, I urge every user to advocate for purchase of a PyMOL license and maintenance subscription for their group now that the package will be supported with rapidly improving documentation, responsive feedback, and regular updates.  If you sponsored the project in 2002, then please consider renewing your maintenance subscription in 2003.  

http://www.pymol.org/funding.html

	Though PyMOL will always be unrestricted Open-Source software, DeLano Scientific will also be rewarding sponsors with extra perks known as "Incentive Products".  These will soon include an expanded manual and protein morphing capability, and will eventually enable electrostatic calculations, sequence editing, direct movie output, a molecular force-field, and on-site training.  

	Please understand that my aim is to keep the package as open as possible while adopting a reliable strategy for paying the bills.  Without incentives, we find that only about 5% of users contribute.  If PyMOL is to eventually surpass the capabilities of traditional commercial products, we need to secure sponsorship from a majority of users.  Hence this compromise.

	More details will follow in coming months.  If you wish to know more about DeLano Scientific and our software philosophy, then please follow this link:

Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D.

Hello there,

I also had problems with these definitions, but these can be actually
solved by using the read-option. I was able to change the epsilon
value of the solvent, by:

#hf/3-21G scf(tight)
scrf(pcm,read)

huuhaata

0 1
C 0.0 0.0 0.0
O 1.3 0.0 0.0

eps=10.0 rsolv=2.0
dump

I also recall that G98 reads only a limited number of lines via the
keyword 'read' so if more than two options are wanted to be read in
these should be put on the same line. If you change the dielectric
constant to match another solvent you might also want to change the
solvent radius (also by the read-option). Dump is a good option to add
to get more details on the actual continuum calculations.

The following is an excerpt of the log-file:

 Solvent: WATER
 Model  : PCM/UAHF, Icomp = 2
 Version: MATRIX INVERSION
 Cavity : PENTAKISDODECAHEDRA with  60 initial tesserae

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Nord Group  Hybr  Charge Alpha Radius            Bonded to
   1   C     sp3   0.00   1.20  1.500     O2  [s]
   2   O     sp2   0.00   1.20  1.590     C1  [s]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ------------------------------------------------------
             Dielectric Const  =   40.00000
             High.Fr.D.Const   =    1.77600
             d(Diel.Const.)/dT =   -0.35620
             Molar Volume      =   18.07000
             Therm.Exp.Coeff.  =    0.00026
             Radius            =    2.00000
             Absolute temper.  =  298.00000
             Number of spheres =   2
             OMEGA             =   40.00000
             RET               =    0.20000
             FRO               =    0.70000
             Accuracy          =    0.1D-05

So, even if it states that the solvent is water, eps and rsolv are
actually those specified in the input. The energies produced by the
default values (defaulting to water, that is) and the above are
different.

Whether to use the isodensity as the cavity definition instead of the
empirical radii, is another question. The cons and pros should be
checked from the literature.

Hope this helps,

Symposium: Theory and simulation of protein folding kinetics

Conference:       226th National ACS Meeting
            New York City, NY USA
            September 7-11, 2003

Description:

      Simulation and experiment are rapidly converging in the field of
protein folding.  The fastest folding protein reported to date folds on a 4
microsecond timescale, while individual molecular dynamics simulations of
proteins on the 50-100 nanosecond timescale are becoming commonplace.
Aggregate simulation times have been extended into the multi-microsecond
regime by distributed computing techniques.  This symposium will provide a
forum for discussing new results in the simulation of folding kinetics,
open theoretical questions, and issues in comparing theory and simulation
to experimental kinetics.  Questions to be addressed may include, but are
not limited to:

            Extraction of rates and time constants from simulation data or
theoretical models.
            Direct simulation of folding kinetics -- quantitative
comparisons with experiment.
            Native structure predictors of folding kinetics, transition
states, etc.
            The balance of energetics and topology and its influence on
folding rates.
            Effects of structure in the “unfolded” state on folding
kinetics.
            Master equation approaches and other abstract models of folding
kinetics.

Speakers to date include:
            Cecilia Clementi (Rice)
            Yong Duan (U. Delaware)
            Gerhard Hummer (NIH)
            Vijay Pande (Stanford)
            Joan Shea (UCSB)
            Yaoqui Zhou (SUNY Buffalo)

Organizer:  Jed W. Pitera, IBM Research (pitera@us.ibm.com)

Deadline:   Submitted talks are welcome!  Abstracts for talks must be
submitted to http://oasys.acs.org/oasys.htm by 11 April 2003.

To Faculty with Research Interests in Computational Chemistry:

We are pleased to announce the second national conference devoted solely to=
 undergraduate computational chemistry, to be held at Hamilton College in=
 Clinton, NY, from July 30 - August 1.  This conference is a great=
 opportunity for undergraduates to learn about the breadth of research in=
 computational chemistry, particularly in interdisciplinary topics, and to=
 discuss their work with other undergraduate computational chemists as well=
 as some leaders in the field.  For faculty, this conference will be an=
 opportunity to generate a network of computational chemists who work with=
 undergraduates, fostering collaboration and developing a sense of=
 community.

We have assembled an excellent group of speakers, all of whom will be=
 available to speak with undergraduates about their work and on career=
 opportunities in the field of computational chemistry.  Our confirmed=
 speakers are:

Anne Chaka (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Ken Jordan (University of Pittsburgh)
Kennie Merz (Pennsylvania State University)
Jane Murray (University of New Orleans)
Nita Sahai (University of Wisconsin - Madison)
Carlos Simmerling (State University of New York at Stony Brook)
Darrin York (University of Minnesota)

The talks will be split between Thursday and Friday, with undergraduate=
 poster sessions taking place on one or both days.  Details of the talks=
 (when available), as well as links to the speakers web sites, can be found=
 on our web site at
http://mars.chem.hamilton.edu/conference.

Registration is $200 per faculty member, $100 per faculty guest, and $100=
 per undergraduate, and includes:
    Two nights accommodation in recently-renovated college housing
    All meals, including a barbecue dinner on Wednesday, July 30
    Social activities on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Costs for the conference are being kept low due to generous financial=
 assistance from Hamilton College and SGI.  Registration materials are due=
 by June 6th, and the deadline for poster abstract submission is July 14th.=
  Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to submit posters.  Additional=
 details about accommodations and poster submission, including registration=
 forms, can be found on the web site listed above.

This conference is the second organized by the MERCURY high performance=
 computer center (Molecular Educational Research Consortium in=
 Undergraduate computational chemistRY), recently created by seven=
 undergraduate institutions with additional funding from NSF.  The=
 conference is focused on undergraduates, and all interested faculty and=
 their undergraduates are invited to attend.  Please contact our System=
 Manager, Jennifer Sturm (jsturm@hamilton.edu), if you would like more=
 information.  If you know someone else who would be interested in this=
 conference, please distribute this information to the appropriate person.

Hello all,

 

I have a list of about 81 compounds (carboxylic acids - benzoates and
cinnamates) that I would like to find pka values for.  I did a quick
google search and found software and licenses you can buy, but nothing
for free.  So I am wondering if free databases exist and if not what is
the best pay database?  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

 

Don
