Subject: rmsds between different structures.
content-length: 643


Dear All,

I am looking for a software package which will enable me to
least-squares-fit and find the rmsds between two structures.  The
complicating factor is that I want to do it on structures of different
amino acid sequences, to fit on the backbone and all relevent atoms, and
give an rmsd based on this.

I have tried XPLOR but it seems to insist the molecules are
identical.  I would also like to have the backbone rmsd printed out on a
residue-by-residue basis.  

I can if necessary write a script to extract the relevant coordinates from
the pdb files.

I appreciate any help anyone may be able to give me.

Thanks 

Mike Smith

I would like to post an opening in my lab for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 
the application of computational neural networks to analytical/pharmaceutical
chemistry.  Salary is $25,000+ plus full benefits for first year with possible 
extension to a 2nd year.  This is a part of a large FDA-funded project to 
create a National Drug Database containing "scientific fingerprints" of all 
over-the-counter and prescription drugs sold in the USA.  A related project
involves the molecular simulation of chromatographic separations.

Some expertise in chemometrics and neural networks is required, but experience
in computational chemistry, commercial molecular-modeling software, unix-based
and PC-based operating systems, and QSAR/COMFA methods is desirable.  Position
requires good oral/written communication skills and is open immediately.
Applications will be accepted until position is filled.  I expect that the
postion will be filled very soon, so please do not hesitate if interested.

Please mail or fax (314-553-5342) your CV including list of publications and
research experience, along with at least one letter of reference, to Prof.
Wiliam Welsh, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Missouri-St. Louis, 8001 
Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, MO 63121.  My office phone number is 314-553-
5318.  The University of Missouri-St. Louis is an AA/EOE employer committed to
excellence through diversity.

	Mike:
		I've run into the same problem with the proteins
	I work with. Since you seem to be primarily interested in
	the backbone RMSD (as I was), then why don't you edit out
	all the side chains (i.e. make all the side chains =GLY).

	If you have access to QUANTA, it will align non-identical
	structures.

Dear Karl,
You can obtain MSDS sheets very easily through the University of Utha 
gopher.

Just follow the following hierarchy:

->  University of Utah
3.  Academic Organizations/
2.  Chemistry/
8.  Material Safety Data Sheets/

Cheers
