Dear CCLer:

  Has anybody experience the correlate routine in Tinker package with a user-defined correlation function? Are there any guide or samples available of user-defined correlation function in correct format? 
  
  The user guide says there are two samples available in its package. however,i couldn't find them.

thanks in advance,

OpenEye announces the release of SZYBKI 1.0. SZYBKI (pronounced 
shib'kee) optimizes molecular structures with the Merck Molecular Force 
Field, either with or without solvent effect, to yield quality 3D 
molecular structures. SZYBKI will also refine portions of a protein 
structure and optimize ligands within a protein active site, making it 
useful in conjunction with docking programs.

Key features of SZYBKI include:
  - MMFF94 and MMFF94s energies or optimized geometries
  - solvent effects with Sheffield or Poisson-Boltzmann models for 
geometry optimization and binding energies
  - ligands optimization within the field of a protein active site
  - flexibility of protein active-site polar hydrogens or side-chains
  - gradient minimization in several coordinate frames (xyz, torsion 
only, etc.)

SZYBKI's atom types, energies and gradients have been strictly validated 
for accuracy against Merck's published dataset. SZYBKI fully optimizes 
about 200 drug-sized molecules per minute on a modern processor. For 
large numbers of structures, SZYBKI also supports distributed processing 
via PVM.

Dear Lei,

as Rajarshi has pointed out already, our Chemistry Development Kit 
(CDK), hosted at http://cdk.sf.net, can do what you are looking for [1].
I would like to add that the CDK is free software under LGPL license.
There is already a public web database running completely based on CDK, 
which is NMRShiftDB, our open-access, open-submission, open-source 
database for organic structures and their NMR data [2,3]. There, 
substructure searching is done with a prefiltering using CDK 
fingerprints, followed by a CDK substructure search in the result set.
NMRShiftDB is available to the public at http://www.nmrshiftdb.org.
Further, the well known BRENDA database 
(http://www.brenda.uni-koeln.de/) does substructure searching based on 
the CDK.

Cheers,

Chris

[Crossposted to 3 lists, please be considerate]

[John Irwin]
>>... Can you recommend software for

>>offer CML tomorrow.

There are many good tools for converting files to CML. First, some words 
about strategy.
CML is powerful enough to hold compound documents such as compound data 
cards, computational chemistry output and (when combined with XHTML) 
complete scientific documents. So "converting to CML" can involve 
components such as molecules, reactions, their properties, spectra, 
eigenproperties, etc. In general CML can hold any information composed of 
simple datatypes (numbers, strings, array, matrixes, etc.) and predefined 
schema elements (reactions, spectra...). We are devising a mechanism for 
building complex datatypes (e.g. critical point, phase diagrams).

Most people currently want to manage molecular data and I'll stick with 
that. (JohnI and I have already corresponded usefully so I believe that a 
Zinc entry consists of at least:
* a molecule
* its provenance
* published names
* published properties
* calculated properties
* intellectual property rights

CML can manage all of this except the IPR. To summarise John's mail, Zinc 
consists of molecular information supplied by compound suppliers under 
contract, for which properties are calculated using software made available 
under contract and then collected in a database which itself has 
restrictions on use (e.g. only limited subsets can be distributed, and for 
restricted use]). CML is not capable of managing the complexity of this IPR 
so the converter would have to add this, preferable in RDF. [Note that this 
problem does not occur for Open data since we can simply add a BOAI or 
Creative Commons license.]

The provenance (without rights) is managed by the DublinCore dc:creator and 
dc:publisher in CML:
<metadataList>
  <metadata name="dc:creator" content="Foobarchem"/>
  <metadata name="dc:publisher" content="ji [] cgl.ucsf.edu"/>
</metadataList>

CML can, in principle, hold everything else without loss. Since I don't 
know the range of properties I don't know which are complex, but assuming 
that most are scalar, then the simple approach is to render them as:

<property dictRef="zinc:mpt">
  <scalar units="units:celsius" min="121" max="123.5" errorBasis="range"/>
</property>

=== OK, most people weren't expecting that! BUT provenance and 
redistribution is increasingly important. That is why the default action of 
OpenBabel when outputting CML is to add metadata. We would hope that if 
users add metadata to the input (only possible in CML) it would be 
transported through ===

I suspect the question could be rephrased as "how do I convert a file 
containing small-molecule information and produce a CML file which contains 
the atoms, bonds and their properties without loss? Each molecule is 
separately identifiable and there is no contextual linkage between them 
(e.g. they aren't poses, supramolecules, etc. The file(s) may contain many 
independent molecules and batch conversion is required"

I currently know of the current tools, and would approach them in this order:

* Openbabel. This has the widest range of file types and can deal with 
lists of molecules. Billy Tyrrell, Chris Morley, Geoff Hutchison and I have 
variously developed this and Henry Rzepa has carried out roundtripping. We 
intend to maintain this a flagship for CML conversion - i.e. if there is a 
problem we will try to respond.

* JUMBO. We have concentrated on complex formats and currently offer
        * MDL Molfile, SDF (and RXN). This attempts to follow the 
published spec for V2000 files. However since some of the spec appears to 
be specific to MDL programs it is necessarily a subset, albeit a fairly 
comprehensive one.
        * MOL2 format taken from the Tripos spec. This again is a subset 
and does not address recognition of atom type and fragments. Not validated.
        * CDX and CDXML. Most of the spec relating to molecules and 
reaction, but not graphic layout, has been implemented. Since CD is a very 
graphically oriented format it is extremely easy to create objects which do 
not formally represent the semantics of the molecule. Conversion of any CDX 
file is likely to be lossy and fuzzy.
        * CIF. This is a complete interpretation of DDL1 with manual 
coding of some of the core dictionary. Although CIF can contain chemical 
structure information this is virtually never used. Hence we have to use 
heuristics to calculate the chemistry and this is almost lossless for GOOD 
CIFs (as published by Acta Cryst.)
        * SMILES. I think this is fairly complete and should include 
stereochemistry.

* CDK. This has a range of file readers and a CML writer. We haven't been 
directly involved in the coding but correspond daily with the group. If 
there are any problems then I am sure the CDK group would be keen to 
address them and we'll help in the discussions.

* JOELib. This has a wide range of functionality, including the calculation 
of properties. Again we are in frequent touch, and although I haven't used 
it for CML I am sure the authors are responsive.

* BlueObelisk, WebServices and Taverna. 
(http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/presentations/acs2005) This is a recent movement 
among a number of OpenSource and Open Data groups to ensure 
interoperability. "File conversions" will increasingly be packaged as 
WebServices (http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/gridsphere/gridsphere) or workflows 
(such as http://taverna.sf.net). Scientists can then select the services 
they require and compose their own application.  This will include 
conversion, validation, checks for uniqueness, submission to repository, 
etc. I suspect that Zinc actually requires a Taverrna-like workflow for its 
maintenance. Taverna can be used to warp closed source programs, but of 
course these cannot be distributed. We offer WebServices for OpenBabel and 
JUMBO as above so anyone can link their conversion requirements. Also our 
WS are Open so anyone can clone them to avoid connection problems. We do 
not currently offer WebServices that use close source programs because 
there are usually license restrictions by the suppliers and WS cannot yet 
deal with complex IPR negotiations. There is no reason why we might not 
create some in the future - if so the WebService wrapper would probably be 
OpenSource.

There are some other Open Source programs (with whose authors we have had 
discussions) which read and/or emit CML including:
* BKChem
* Ghemical
I don't know whether these can be used in batch but as they are open source 
then anyone can add this. I am also sure they'd be keen to help. I don't 
know the degree of conformance.

There are an increasing number of computational chemistry programs which 
emit (and often read) CML but this is  out of scope in this thread.

We welcome implementations and use of CML by for-profit organisations. CML 
itself is an openly published, read-only specification and does not require 
implementations to be OpenSource. It does, however, require best efforts to 
conform and we shall write more of this later. Although, in principle, it 
is possible to write conformant software by reading the spec, in practice 
no spec is completely watertight and we encourage discussion. Obviously any 
posting to this list advertises the origin of the poster, so companies may 
wish to mail privately and will get a private reply. However we have 
limited resources and cannot generally give extended free private advice.

There are some closed source tools which read/emit CML. Some of their 
authors have not approached us at all. Others have approached us but 
expected us to provide complete CML implementations at our own expense. 
Since, at present, this not an attractive business proposition, we haven't 
been able to accept these offers. We note that some of them (unidentified) 
have since added "CML". We do not know the degree of conformance or 
comprehensiveness. Note that some of them are only available through 
purchase and we may not have access to them. We do know that some of them 
do not conform to the published CML specification and shall be advising 
them that this is inconsistent with the use of the term and mark "CML". 
Other list readers might like to comment, but please make sure that 
statements are  factually correct and avoid political discussions.

* ACDLabs. No public information on conformance.
* CambridgeSoft. No public information on conformance.
* Chemaxon (Marvin). We have had no contact from them. This company lists 
the CML elements they supports and adds many others in the same namespace 
which are not CML. The "CML" is therefore not conformant to the published 
Schema. There are also semantics which are incompatible with CML (e.g. the 
order of atoms may be important). This is "semantic pollution". We shall 
write to them soon, advising them that this is unacceptable. There are 
technical fixes to some of this such as the use of proprietary namespaces 
for attributes, elements and datatypes.
* Foo. private communication.
* Bar. private communication
* Xyzzy. private communication.


I shall write separately on compchem and semantics.

Hi, I am experimenting a TI perturbation with Amber 8.0 on an
enzyme-catalyzed bimolecular reaction (an alcohol reacts with a
carboxylic acid to form an ester).  The two species are away from each
other in the enzyme pocket. First I run the simulation in vaccum
without enzyme. I defined two new atom types for the carbonyl carbon
(CX) and the hydroxyl oxygen (OX).  They will become C and OS at the
end (in the ester) and one OH and two HO atoms will disappear.
Initially CX and OX distance is 6.0 angstrom. When I run minimization
on the unperturbed system, the 1-4 EEL blows up quickly. I suspect
that this has something to do with the restraints between two
molecules. I tried to play around the force constants and so far has
no luck. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Eric
