Dear All,
 I have a protein with an internal cavity that has no access to the =

Hi! You didn`t tell absolutely anything about the error you get, the 
method you use and the type of the calculation. Gaussian shouldn`t have 
any problems with such simple cases. It is a good idea to mention all of 
the above plus the operating system when asking about problems with 
software.
About the input, there should be nothing tricky, since this is a fairly 
simple molecule and all "defaults" will work. One of the simplest inputs 
you can give is below.

Dear Qin,

May I suggest two ways. I assume that you know which residues are
on the boundary on the cavity. Using adequate radii, the SAS can
be computed either analytically, or by Monte-Carlo (faster, but less
accurate), with the freeware ASV: binaries and documentation with
reference in:
http://petitjeanmichel.free.fr/itoweb.petitjean.freeware.html#ASV
Also, if you have a roughly convex cavity (e.g. the convex hull of
the alpha-carbons bounding the cavity), you can get the surface
of the hull (and its generalized radius and diameter), with the
free ware RADI: binaries and documentation with reference in:
http://petitjeanmichel.free.fr/itoweb.petitjean.freeware.html#RADI

I am performing some geometry optimizations in vacuuo on some large organo-metallic complexes with C3 or higher symmetry.

My problem is that I cannot find a way to enforce this symmetry during the optimization routine. Is there a set of keywords that can be employed to prevent G98 from defaulting to C1 symmetry or to enforce a particular symmetry?

The structures we get using C1 optimizations are "reasonable", but clearly should be much better. Based on the resultant bond lengths and angles the symmetry is certainly not obeyed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Does anyone found a way to perform a relaxed PES scan using a method for 
which only numerical gradients are available ?
I tried with opt=modredundant or opt=z-matrix, but it does not work.
Actually the link used for this kind of geometry optimization is the 114 
one, i.e. the EF one.
Regards,
Nicolas Ferri

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

dear all,
MacOSX is just another regular UNIX and one can compile the standard 
g03 source code on that machine (and optimize for the G5!). I did so 
and it runs very fast. On a typical DFT job, it is 2-3 times (yes, 
that much!) faster than on a Xeon (comparing a single 2 GHz Xeon CPU 
to a single 2 GHz G5 CPU).
For visualization, I use mostly viewmol, an excellent program for 
looking at molecules, vibrations, orbitals.... Added advantage: its 
free.

There are a couple of points to consider if you want to compile g03 on MacOSX:
I used the IBM xlf compiler (8.1 beta). The final version of the 
compiler is available now, I am about to order that one. It order to 
compile, you need a UNIX filesystem partition on the disk where g03 
is compiling, as hfs and hfs+ are not really case sensitive and in 
the preprocessor stage of the compilation (cpp), it needs to 
distinguish between xxxx.F and xxxx.f. The makefile is a hybrid of 
the rs6k.make and the linux makefile. I also added a few lines of 
fortran code and slightly modified some c source files (only on some 
files in the bsd subdir). Of course one has to keep in mind that the 
byteorder on a PowerPC is different from Intel and that, although the 
CPU is 64 bit, MacOSX is not (no support for 8 byte pointers). I also 
used the Apple BLAS (veclib).

The resulting code runs very well, 16 GB scratchfiles are no problem 
(no need to segment into 2 GB chunks). Bigger scratchfiles do not 
work, I guess the reason are the 4 byte pointers.

I tried to compile it for 2 CPUs (using openMP). That did not work 
and since I don't care, I gave up quickly. My feeling is that after 
spending some time, that would work as well.


Good luck,
Gert

hi all 
 
does anyone know a fast way to compute te radius of small 
solutes (2 to 5 atoms) - or any extensive tables that could 
cover these? 
 
thanks 
Gongalo Justino

Hi Anatoli,

The following recent paper compares the accuracy of various semiempirical 
methods with DFT of over 1,000 compounds.

Comparison of the accuracy of semiempirical and some DFT methods for
predicting heats of formation, James J. P. Stewart, J Mol Model (2004) 10:6-12

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version 0.70rc, clamav-milter version 0.70

Dear Colleagues,

I am trying to optimize a molecule (with Gaussian) with two charged groups, 
+NH3 and COO-, respectively. However, during the optimization, one of the 
amino hydrogen leaves the nitrogen and bound to one of the oxygen atoms of 
COO group.
In order to preserve the two groups I imposed the same bond length for the 
three NH bonds, but this means a restriction which even if does not led to 
imaginary frequencies, however the corresponding optimized geometry must be 
higher in energy than that in which an NH...O hydrogen bond is allowed.
The Help of the program says that there is a way of giving a specific 
connectivity for atoms, however I was not able to solve my problem. I will 
appreciate very much any help on this topic.

Best regards and Happy Easter for everybody!
Vasile

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Thank you very much for your help with references and
copies of the papers and also for an opportunity to
have some follow up  chat  with a few friends. We all
move around and dive and surface once in a while :-)

Please, find below a summary of the answers that I
received, so far. Following the advice from Jan
Labanowski, I also encovered a few references in QCLD,

Hi Anatoli,

The following recent paper compares the accuracy of
various 
semiempirical 
methods with DFT of over 1,000 compounds.

Comparison of the accuracy of semiempirical and some
DFT methods for
predicting heats of formation, James J. P. Stewart, J
Mol Model (2004) 
10:6-12

Regards,
David Gallagher

----------

Dr. Korkin - I've done some comparisons and
evaluations of 
methodologies for
describing strong hydrogen-bonded complexes. The first
reference cited 
below is an
extensive comparison of various DFT approaches with ab
initio 
methodologies up to
MP2/6-311++G(d,p). The second reference is a review
that covers ab 
initio, DFT,
and semiempirical approaches. This is less detailed
but covers more 
conceptual
ground. The references are as follows: A. T.
Pudzianowski, "A Sytematic 
Appraisal
of Density Functional Methodologies for Hydrogen
Bonding in Binary 
Ionic
Complexes," J. Phys. Chem. 100(12), 4781-4789 (1996);
A. T. 
Pudzianowski, "Current
computational approaches to the strong hydrogen bond,"
Recent Res. 
Devel. in
Physical Chem. 1, 81-97 (1997). I have reprints of
both.

Dear Anatoli,

there is a recent paper of J.J.P. Stewart:
"Comparison of the accuracy of semiempirical and some
DFT methods for
predicting heats of formation"
J.Mol.Model. 2004, 10(1), 6-12.

Regards,

Anselm Horn

Calculations of electric properties, of molecules and
clusters, are a good test for the performance of DFT
functionals. Hope these three will be of help.

Dear colleague,

I would advice to take a look at the chapter 8 (pages
233-273) "Density
Functional Theory" in "Essentials of Computational
Chemistry "by C.J.
Cramer, Wiley, 2002 where this is discussed.

Best regards,

Hi Anatoli,

PS: Concerning your question: I do know that Ken Houk
has prepared a 
manuscript where he
        tested several methods. Why don't you email
him ?

PPS: For teaching it would be a help to have such a
list. Could you 
please 
send me a summary?

Does anyone on the list know of (and would share) a (recent) comprehensive
review of DFT functionals and the quality of their prediction of molecular
properties?

Thanks.

Hi,

  The symmetry of your input structure is retained by default in
g98.  If g98 is "defaulting to C1 symmetry" your structure is
probably not really C3 according to the cutoffs that Gaussian
uses to detect symmetry.  This can sometimes be overcome by
constructing a Z-matrix with the correct symmetry, but this can
become tricky depending on the structure.  There may be an IOP
option to loosen these cutoffs?
  It is obviously difficult to write an exactly symmetric structure
with a C3 symmetry axis using cartesians with a finite number of digits...

Hi,

  If there is no barrier between the Zwitterion and the neutral
structure, then there is really no physically meaningful way to
do a full geometry optimization while maintaining the Zwitterion
if the neutral structure is lower in energy.
  However, there could be a local minimum that is Zwitterionic
which is higher in energy which you might find with some careful
surface scanning (which means that there is a barrier to forming
the neutral form).

Jim,

This might help:

Tests of second-generation and third-generation density functionals for
thermochemical kinetics 
Zhao, Y; Pu, JZ; Lynch, BJ; Truhlar, DG
Source: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS; 2004; v.6, no.4, p.673-676

It covers barrier heights and atomization energies.  

They did leave out KMLYP however.  We've run the same tests as described
in the paper using KMLYP with the following results.

					BH6		AE6	
					MSE	MUE	MSE	MUE
KMLYP/DIDZ w/ HLC			-2.86	2.86	-0.79	0.98
KMLYP/MG3S w/ HLC			-2.92	2.92	0.18	0.45
KMLYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) w/ HLC	-2.92	2.92	0.06	0.50

MMUE KMLYP w/ HLC			1.80

These results would place KMLYP near the top compared with all the other
tested methods.  The only method that does a better job predicting
barrier heights is MPW1K, but the MPW1K atomization energies have a
larger error.  The KMLYP atomization energies are comparable with the
best shown in the paper.  Finally, the MMUE would be the best of all the
methods evaluated.

It is important to apply the high level correction (HLC) as specified in
the original KMLYP reference in order to obtain good AE results.

Hope this helps.
