AMSOL (QCPE #606) does AM1-SM1, AM2-SM2, PM3-SM3 as well as the AM1a etc...
Price QCPE for a quote, though ours was approximately $300 or 175 pounds. Fairly
cheap anyway. Cramer - Truhlar has released Vers 3.5, and there was some talk of
QCPE setting up an ftp server for downloading software, so the price may be
different now.

CCL Netters --

We have heard that there is a database in existence that contains the
molecular structures, i.e., atomic coordinates, of the native structures
of practically all of the proteins for which structures have been
determined.  Specifically, we are interested in the native structures,
i.e., the 3D placement of all of the amino acid residues, and not just
the sequence of amino acids.  Can anyone identify this database resource
for us?  Thanks in advance.

I recall that sometime ago I took a look to the force
field available in DISCOVER and found out, just by looking
at the manuals, that the force field for water contains also
nondiagonal terms like:

... + SUM  SUM F[b,theta]*(b-bo)(theta-thetao)
       b  theta

    + SUM SUM F[b,b']*(b-bo)*(b'-bo') + ...
       b   b'

I even found the parameters on a Table explicitely stated for
for water to be

        F[b,b']=   -14.5
        F[b,theta]= 31.3

Are those terms considered in your calculation?
Can someone comment on those nondiagonal terms.
*************

I did not use cross-terms in my water simulations.  I
doubt they would have a significant effect on the
rdf's.  I was not aware that cross terms would be
used in Biosym water...does the "full" Biosym water
model include cross terms?

It appears that the C90fr (% of C90) is based on the test jobs running on a
single processor on the C90.  Wouldn't the timings for the multiprocessor
SGI jobs be more "consistent" if they were compared to C90 times based on the
same number of processors (where possible).

What you are interested is the Protein Data Bank (PDB) which 
can be accessed by anonymous ftp (pdb.pdb.bnl.gov).  
The PDB can be contacted by the following:

You are referring to The Protein Data Bank ("PDB"), which is
administered by the Brookhaven National Laboratory.  Three-D protein
structures can be obtained in a number of ways, including tape,
CD-ROM, e-mail file server, and anonymous FTP.

The following information was taken directly from the April 1993
version of the PDB Newsletter:
