Hi Geetha,

I recently optimised only the hydrogen atoms in a molecule, and I used the 
method outlined in pp. 170-171 of the G03 manual. I put all H atoms at the 
end of the molecule specification (xyz coordinates) to make it easier, and I 
created cartesian coordinates for all non-H atoms (32) to freeze them (see 
below). There may be easier ways, but this one works.

Dear CCLers,

I am wondering if an ionizable residue affects the accuracy of free
energy calculation. 

  We are trying to calculate the binding free energies of peptides to
their receptor molecule using the 'double coupling' method (*) which
requires two simulations. The first yields the free energy change, G1,
for a transfer of a protonated peptide molecule, PH(+), from water to
gas.

    PH(+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) -> PH(+):Cl(-)(gas)

One chloride ion is added to neutralize the system.
  The second yields the free energy change, G2, for decoupling the
peptide from the binding site of the solvated receptor, R(-)(aq) .

    R(-):PH(+)(aq) + Na(+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) -> 
             R(-)(aq) + Na(+)(aq) +  PH(+):Cl(-)(gas)

Here a sodium ion is added to neutralize the system.
  The binding free energy is then G2 - G1 .


  But the problem is that the calculation would be more complicated if
we consider all the charge configurations of the solvated peptide,
PH(+)(aq) and P(aq). Because the protonated residue is arginine so
far, I suppose the deprotonated configuration does not have to be
considered. But this approximation is bad for lysine or histidine, and
how can I estimate the error? Or how can I resolve the problem?

  I would be very grateful if you give me some advice or point me to
articles dealing with similar problems. ( Please tell me if there is
any paper estimating the binding affinities of ioniable ligands into a
receptor. ) 

Thanks in advance for any help.  
Kind Regards,
Masakatsu

The Visualization and Interpretation of Computational Models
============================================================

There are many different approaches available for modeling
chemical data. Biological activities can be estimated using a
number of approaches such as numerical modeling, pharmacophore
construction or structural comparisons. The interaction of small
molecules to binding sites can be described using docking models,
shape comparisons or pharmacophores. Physico-chemical
properties can be estimated using a variety of techniques.

All these problems share one common and often unresolved
issue. Whatever the model is teaching us about the system in
question must be communicated to the clients of the model.
This symposium will focus on methods that have been developed to aid
in the interpretation of models of all types common in
Computational Chemistry. The symposium will not discuss new
modeling techniques, but will focus on methods that have been devised
to extract the maximum information from the models and communicate
that information to clients.

Papers are invited that cover issues on
*	Visualization of Modeling Data
*	Interpretation of Modeling Data
*	Communication of knowledge from the model to clients
      (e.g. chemists, biologists etc)

The organizers are Andrew Smellie, Anton Filikov and
Rocio Palma of Arqule Inc.

Please submit your abstracts to asmellie$at$arqule.com no
later than April 2nd 2005

Dear CCLers,

I'm trying to compare electrostatic potential (ESP) for water at
different points calculated from a cube file and with non-standard input
with g98.  However I've noticed that the maximum value for ESP for the
same geometry does not agree!.

My input geometry looks like this:

8       0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000
1       0.67956100  0.87766500  0.00000000
1       0.67956100 -0.87766500  0.00000000

If I calculate the ESP in a medium cube, the maximum value is 136.656 at
(0.015492,0.015492,0.015492).  However, if I use a non-standard input
and specify that same point I get a value of 136.597912.

The nonstd input looks like this:

#P nonstd
 1/38=1/1;
 2/15=1,17=6,18=5/2;
 3/5=1,6=6,7=1,8=2,11=2,25=1,30=1/1,2,3;
 4//1;
 5/5=2,32=1,38=4,42=-5/2;
 6/7=3,15=1,28=1,/1,2;
 99/5=1,9=1/99;

In both cases I'm using b3lyp/6-31G* with no symmetry for the
calculations.

Has anyone seen something like this before?, Which value should I
trust?, (I'm leaning towards the second one but I'm not sure).

Thanks in advance,

Andres
