Hi --  does anyone out there have any MM parameters for oxime ethers?
i.e. >C==N--O--C-  systems.  I have found MM2 parameters for oximes
(JOC 53(14) 3313-3316 (1988)), but this does not include the ethers, 
particularly the N--O torsional barrier height.

Thanks in advance for any help .. .. .. Tim Mitchell

Dear Netters !

Thinking about analyzing a given molecular system the first step that 
has
to be made is representing it, so that it can be dealt with.  Systems I
think would be pretty much interesting to analyze are :

1. single molecules
   a. small molecules
   b. periodical molecules
   c. single polymeric molecule

2. molecular systems
   a. molecular systems made up of molecules of only one type
   b. molecular crystals
   c. a single molecule in an environment of others
   d. molecules in solvations

Setting up a single molecule should be pretty easy. Theres an origin of
construction and a global or serveral local coordinate systems. But 
when
it comes to the description of molecular systems - how are they set up 
?
How is an environment of molecules represented ? What way are 
molecules in
solvation described ?

Greetings,
       RaMa.

Hi:

Does anyone out there know of programs to calculate solvent-accessable polar and non-polar surface areas?  Preferably code for Sun workstations.  Free or commercial, either is acceptable.

Please e-mail replies, I will summarize.

Thanks!

We are porting MOPAC7, from QCPE. to an RS/6000.  When the code is executed on
the provided test data, we get a segmentation fault.  Any help in determining
why we get the segmentation fault would be appreciated.

In doing the port, a number of changes were necessitated:

1.  In subroutine ef.f, flush was replaced by fflush.
    The common block FLUSH was renamed to FLUSHCOMMON.
    It was necessary to add the LOGICAL variable LIMSCF.

    The compilation line for mopac.exe has been accordingly modified by
    adding the -lc library.

2,  In subroutine iter.f, the open statement was changed from 

        OPEN(UNIT=6,FILE=GETNAM('FOR006'),ACCESS='APPEND')
     to OPEN(UNIT=6,FILE=GETNAM('FOR006'),STATUS='UNKNOWN')

3.  In subroutine readmo.f, the calls to fdate and etime were replaced with
    calls to fdate_ and etime_.

4.  The dimensions for ALLZ and ALLC in setupg.f had to be modified to
    (6,6,2).  The common block is now COMMON/STO6G/ALLC(6,6,2),ALLZ(6,6,2).

The program you need is called ACCESS and is very popular for doing
exactly what you are asking, in the protein folding area.  I am going to
assume that you are working on protein structure.  ACCESS and the
related program VOLUME were written by Fred Richards and colleagues at
Yale U.  You can obtain them by writing to Art Perlo at:

perlo@hhvms8.csb.yale.edu  OR
perlo@csb.yale.edu


This of course is Fortran code and an adaptation of the Richmond
algorithm (in C) is available from Scott Presnell, UCSF.


GRASP from Tony Nicholls (Columbia U) and MSP package from Mike Connolly
are also capable of doing this.


While ACCESS and the Presnell code are free, there is a nominal fee for
licensing GRASP and MSP.

Hi,

Does anyone out there know of programs to calculate excimers? I have tried
Argus and MOPAC5. They do not seem to give satisfactory results for the
problem. Preferably code for Sun workstations and written on C.

Thanks

I am just curious what the problem is?

Some old calculations have been performed
to model the excimer bond. 
See "Mechanism and Theory in Organic Chemistry,"
Lowry and Richardson, Chapter 12  Photochemistry, which references
1a) Th. F\"orster, Angwew. Chem. Int. Ed., vol 8, page 333, (1969)
1b)B. Stevens in Advances in Photochemistry, vol 8
W. A. Noyes, G. S. Hammond, and J. N. Pitts, Jr. Eds, Wiley NY 1971, page 161
1c) M. Gordan and W. R. Ware, Eds,  "The Expliex"  Academic Press NY 1975

2) E.A. Chandross and C. J. Dempster, JACS vol 92, page 3586  (1970)

3) A.S. Cherkasov and T.M. Vember, Optics and Spectroscopy, vol 6, page 319 (1959)


Lowry and Richardson claim that Quantum Mechanical calculations
 (I don't know what kind)
give good esitmate of the theoretical position of the excimer flourescence
band (I don't now how "good" good is) if the calculations account for
charge resonance and excitatiojn resonance.  That is, if the excimer
takes the form:

	A*A <-> AA* <-> A+A- <-> A-A+

Is this along the lines of what you are looking for?

On the other hand, many excimer fluorescence intensity depend
on concentration. If you are trying to model concentration dependence,
take a look at some work by Peter Rosky (Texas at Austin?)
He has some been looking at some similar problems with excited
atoms in solution.


Hope this helps
