Subject: PSEUDOPOTENTIALS FOR THE BORON-IODINE SUBBLOCK


NETTERS:

RECENTLY SOMEONE INQUIRED CONCERNING HALOGENS, BASIS SETS AND PSEUDOPOTENTIALS.
A SUGGESTION:
Mol Physics V80 p1431-1441 (1993). Here the authors provide potentials 
  and optimised bases for the 4x5 boron-iodine subblock..  For the chalcogens
  and halogens there are also optimised diffuse functions for anionic occasions.
  The valence orbitals are over 4 primitives, so contract as you see fit.

I'd be grateful for any information about publicly available routines 
for substructure searching.  Ideally the software should be modular 
rather than part of a larger program.  

	It's for an academic collaborator who doesn't have access to this newsgroup.

A colleague of mine has a protein sequence, but no x-ray structure, and wants
to do sequence homology studies, to compare this sequence with other protein
sequences.

Does anyone have any ideas, code, or algorithms and programs to do this kind
of study.

I will summerise for the net...

Regarding the distribution of the protein structure database SESAM, you
should contact Shoshana Wodak at the following address:

shosh@ucmbcx1.ulb.ac.be

This is very similar to the product IDITIS distributed by Oxford
Molecular, but, when I spoke to Soshana last, there was no GUI
implemented.  Things could be different now.

Here is the catch:  SESAM is implemented under the commercial program
RDBM, SYBASE.  In order to run SESAM, you must have a license for this
RDBM.  A run-time version of this RDBM costs $5000.  If you have this
then SESAM is basically free.

Alternatively. SESAM has also been implemented under ORACLE.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
-raman

P.S.  I heard that a free RD oriented protein structure databse will
soon be available from the UK. I will let you know if I hear more about
this.  In addition you might want to check out WHAT IF by Gerrit Vriend
which implements a similar database and only bears a nominal cost for
academia.

There are many ways you could achieve this:

1. BLAST server
2. FASTA protocol
3. Server in Heidelberg

You can obtain information on 1 & 2 by setting your gopher client to any
of the biology gophers (e.g. fly.bio.indiana.edu).

I like 3, since it not only provides the homology, but also the
secondary structure prediction.  This server is maintained by Chris
Sander's group at EMBL, Heidelberg.

To get instructions on using the server do the following:

send email to the following address with no subject field:

predictprotein@embl-heidelberg.de

just include the word "help" in the body of the message.

Dear Netters,

We are considering buying a Silicon Graphics Indy to run QUANTA and 
visualize proteins from molecular dynamics simulations.  Apparently the 
Indy does not have a Z-buffer in the hardware.  Therefore rotating larger 
proteins would be unsatisfactory since the depth-cueing must be done with 
software and is much slower.  I would appreciate hearing about peoples' 
experience with the Indy in this regard and whether this limitation 
prevents it from being a useful graphics workstation for our needs.

Thank you, 
Rebecca Schmidt
