Subject: Ligand design talk



Dear All

A while back, the talk below was advertised on the list:

The Chicago Computational Chemistry Club

Presents

Peter J. Zielinski
Illinois Institute of Technology

A New Method for Designing Ligands

Thursday, September 8, 7:30 p.m.

Room No. 1358, Tech Building,
Department of Physics,
Northwestern University,
2145 Sheridan Road,
Evanston IL 60208.

Now that the meeting has taken place, does anyone have any more details
about the content of the talk for those who couldn't be present? Any
notes, comments or references would be of interest.

Many thanks

David E. Clark

Subject: entropy and hydration in MOPAC
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 94 13:30:31 GMT



Dear Netters, a couple of weeks ago I posted 2 questions
1 how can I do entropy calcs and simulate hydration using
MOPAC.
Here are the replies I recieved, many thanks to all.

Paul Heelis, North East Wales Institute, UK
Heelisp@NEWI.AC.UK

                         From  DR. ANDREW HOLDER
         Assistant Professor of Computational/Organic
Chemistry, aholder@vax1.umkc.edu

1.  You need to perform a frequency claculation (FORCE)
while using the
keyword THERMO.

2.  I think that MOPAC has the COSMO package present for
solvations.

I should note that we market the AMPAC package that does all
of the
things that MOPAC does, plus a lot more.  AMPAC also has the
AMSOL
solvation methods developed by Truhlar and Cramer.  These
methods
are usually considered better than COSMO. 


Following is an input and output
file for water with the proper AMPAC (and I think MOPAC)
options set.

ps.  Please do note that you need to make sure the geometry
is optimized
     before you do the force calculation.
N.B FROM PAUL HEELIS, I HAVE PUT THE SAMPLE FILE AT THE END
OF THIS POSTING.


I'm not sure what brand of MOPAC is shipping with ChemX, but
I'm rel-
atively sure it is dated.  The versions of these public
domain programs
shipped witn other packages are uncertain, as the company
has no reason 
(or expertise) to maintain them in a high quality fashion.
To blow
my own horn a bit, this is why we have begun to market
AMPAC.  It is
all we do and it is simply the best package out there of its
kind.
  The entropy calculations carried forth into Gibbs free
energies are
pretty reliable for AM1  (which I would much recommend over
PM3).  You
can look at Holder, A. J.; Healy, E. F. THEOCHEM 1993, 23,
141 for
some tables.  I should note that the great majority of the
energy of
gas phase systems is in the enthalpy.  Only in odd
circumstances will
energy differences in delta G be substantially different
than energy
differences in delta H.

From  steve trohalaki, wright patterson air force base
	"trohals@Picard.ml.wpafb.af.mil"

I have recently looked into simulating hydration with the
COSMO
(Conductor-like Screening Model), which is in Mopac93 but
not in
Mopac6 - i'm not sure about version 6.43.  COSMO is not a
reaction
field model but a continuum approach.  alternatively, amsol,
which is
based on an older version of ampac (mopac and ampac are
quite similar)
adds free energy of solvation terms to the fock operator to
account for
hydration but you need the AM1 gas-phase energy of formation
to get the
free energy of solvation.  amsol is available from qcpe, but
i don't 
think it runs on macs.  i'd be interested to hear the
responses you
receive.  steve trohalaki, wright patterson air force base

FROM wolfgang sauer    "sauer@organik.uni-erlangen.de"


for the inclusion of solvent effects in semiemp.
calculation, I would suggest
you'd have a look at our program VAMP.
Besides the 'normal' AM1, PM3, MNDO and MINDO3 calcs and a
few other unique
features, there is the possibility to perform SCRF ("self
consistent reaction
field") calculations. Together with the possibility to
combine it with CI
("configuration interaction"), you can evaluate the effects
of solvents on
both ground and excited states.
At present, the following solvents are covered:
	n-hexane
	n-hexadecane
	carbon tetrachloride CCl4
	benzene
	diethyl ether
	chloroform CHCl3
	methylene chloride CH2Cl2
	acetone
	ethanol
	acetonitrile
	dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO
	WATER
	pyridine
	nitrobenzene.

For further information on VAMP or any of our other
products, please contact
our UK headquarters at
	Oxford Molecular
	The Magdlen Centre
	Oxford Science Park
	Oxford OX 4  4 GA

	Tel 0865 784 600
	Fax 0865 784 601

or myself, as I am currently involved in the development of
the next version
of VAMP.

"A friend of mine" is looking for conformations and intramolecular rotational 
barriers of alcohols, experimentally determined in aqueous solution. 
Of particular interest are ethanol, propanol, butanol, and glycol. Can anybody
direct me to (un)published work in this area ? Thanks very much.

Dear Netters,

I would like to calculate with MOPAC the geometry of an organic anion.
I am not sure that the calculation of an ion alone in the gas-phase 
would be very realistic (mainly because of intramolecular electrostatic
repulsion), so I tried to use the so-called "sparkles" which are defined in
the MOPAC manual as "pure ionic charges" or more precisely as an "integer
charge at the center of a repulsion sphere of form exp(-alpha*r)".
The manual explains further that the sparkles can be used as counterions.

Unfortunately, my MOPAC calculation with a positive sparkle "+" ended up
with the positive charge almost superimposed on the atom of my anion bearing
most of the negative charge.

Have I missed something in the keyword specification ? does anybody have
experienced this MOPAC feature with some success ? (some refs would be 
welcome ).

I will summarize the answers for the net.
Please use the following e-mail address (not the one in the From: line)

Biosym offers Profiles-3D, a program to assess the compatibility between
amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. The program employs
the method of David Eisenberg of UCLA, which analyzes structures in terms
of the residues' local environments. Environments are classified in terms
of secondary structure, solvent accessibility, and polar/apolar neighbors.
Thus any 3D structure can be reduced to a 1D string of environment classes.
After examining a set of well characterized globular proteins, a table of
propensities for each of the 20 amino acids to be in each of the environment
classes was developed. This 3D-1D scoring table can be used to measure a
compatibility score and perform an alignment between a given sequence and
structure.

The scoring method can be used in 3 ways: 1) A single amino acid sequence
can be compared to a database of pre-calculated 3D profiles (the environments
for the structures combined with the scoring table). The database is comprised
of all known structures from the Brookhaven PDB. This techniques is valuable
for finding reference (template) structures from which to build homology
models. 2) A given structure can be compared to a sequence database to study
evolutionary relationships. 3) A built structure can be compared with
its own sequence to assess the quality of the model. Since there are no
insertions or deletions, the score needs no normalizing, and so it can be
calculated on a residue by residue basis. Thus local areas of misfolding, or
hotspots, can be identified.

Dear netters,
	One of my colleagues needs some dipeptides' coordinates
for her works ( she is modelling interactions between dipeptides ).
I have searched through the WEB space without success. It appears
to me that most database on the internet maintain only proteins
and big biomolecules.
	Does anybody know where I could get the coordinates for
dipeptide somewhere ? Is there any database for them ? Any Ideas
and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
	Thanks a lot in advance.

	  Technologies Corporation, Dr. George Famini of ERDEC, U.S. Army, 
	  and Dr. Arthur Olson of the Scripps Institute.

Publication of Proceedings:  The sponsors have arranged to have papers based
	  on the presentations published in a special issue of the Journal
	  of Molecular Graphics.

Interested parties should contact Dr. Smith using the information below as 
soon as possible. Abstracts of no more than 150 words should be supplied no
later than October 20, 1994 on ACS abstract forms. You can obtain these forms
by calling the ACS at 202-872-4396.

I am not sure anyone is still on bitnet :-). Just send mail to
