Ok, Folks

The deadline to get abstracts to the symposia chairs for the Anaheim
ACS meeting is almost upon us.  In case some of you are still interested
in submitting abstracts, I have enclosed Anaheim's list of symposia and
organizers.  Please, only send General oral and posters (to include
both the General and Sci-mix poster sessions) to me, please.  Further,
unless you have contacted or been contacted by a symposium organizer
previously, I would suggest you contact them prior to submitting
your abstract.  Sessions are filling up (some have filled up) fast, and
it may already be too late.

Message-ID:  <9410180705.aa18674@cbdcom.apgea.army.mil>


Hello Again,

I would like to thank everyone who contacted me as a result of my
plea for symposium organizers for upcoming ACS meetings.  The feedback
and offers of help were phenomenal, and well appreciated.  As a result,
COMP (that's the Division of Computers in Chemistry for the uninitiated)
now has pretty much a full slate of symposia scheduled through
San Francisco (SF is still a bit weak, and could use a couple more).
However, I would like to stress that if you come up with an idea for
a symposium, and would like to organize it, please contact me, we can
work it in to everyone's satisfaction.  

Because of the response, a number of people offered to organize the
same symposium.  In most cases, I either (a) suggested co-organizers
or (b) suggested alternate symposia to organize.  I have tried to contact
everyone, but may have missed some due to the flood of responses.  If
I did, I offer my sincere apologies, and ask any that fit in that
category to consider option (b) above.  We can discuss applicable 
topics, and pursuant to the paragraph above, an appropriate meeting.


I enclose in this message COMP's programmed symposia through 
San Francisco.  This is the same list (more or less) that will appear
in C&E News in December.  Again, the response of the readers of this
list have been nothing short of tremendous.  (I know most of us
really appreciate the CCL, Jan, and many of us have said so in the
past.  But the CCL REALLY has made my job as COMP Program Chair
much easier. Again, thanks.)

Dear Netters,
I need to calculate the direction of transition moment dipoles
for two molecules, a flavin and tetrahydrofolate.
I am studying electronic energy transfer between flavin and folate.
Can they be calculated by MOPAC?

what is the best approach?  
 I am using Chem-x on a MAC Quadra, which has MOPAC 6.43.

I would really appreciate any help you can give.

SMP system.
    The data collected are for old SGI microprocessors, before
R8000- based systems there are a lot of R4400- based workstations.
    And the last question is how good this timings may represent
normal situation when FORTRAN compilers are used for MOPAC source.

Subject:  COMP Symposia (2nd try)
Message-ID:  <9410181125.aa03126@cbdcom.apgea.army.mil>


Hello Folks,

Sorry about the mistake... I have included the additional symposia
I forgot in my previous message.  My mind wanders...

I would like to thank everyone who contacted me as a result of my
plea for symposium organizers for upcoming ACS meetings.  The feedback
and offers of help were phenomenal, and well appreciated.  As a result,
COMP (that's the Division of Computers in Chemistry for the uninitiated)
now has pretty much a full slate of symposia scheduled through
San Francisco (SF is still a bit weak, and could use a couple more).
However, I would like to stress that if you come up with an idea for
a symposium, and would like to organize it, please contact me, we can
work it in to everyone's satisfaction.  

Because of the response, a number of people offered to organize the
same symposium.  In most cases, I either (a) suggested co-organizers
or (b) suggested alternate symposia to organize.  I have tried to contact
everyone, but may have missed some due to the flood of responses.  If
I did, I offer my sincere apologies, and ask any that fit in that
category to consider option (b) above.  We can discuss applicable 
topics, and pursuant to the paragraph above, an appropriate meeting.


I enclose in this message COMP's programmed symposia through 
San Francisco.  This is the same list (more or less) that will appear
in C&E News in December.  Again, the response of the readers of this
list have been nothing short of tremendous.  (I know most of us
really appreciate the CCL, Jan, and many of us have said so in the
past.  But the CCL REALLY has made my job as COMP Program Chair
much easier. Again, thanks.)

Dear Netters,

I have just read a paper in J. Mol. Graphics (Vol. 12, No. 3, September
1994, p. 173-177 by Light and Gaber) about a molecular garphics program
called NanoVision. Apparently, the described program is a research version
of a program with the same name available from Amer. Chem. Soc.

Do anyone have more information about the commercially available version of
NanoVison? - experiences? - price? - address for ordering?

In advance thank you.

Hi netters,

I have some questions on constrained dynamics.

Using bond (and angle ?) constraints we can
force a better exploration of the conformational
space of molecules.
Is it possible to make a better sampling of
conformations using MD in which the equations
or algorithm are not modified but the force
constants in the model are enlarged ?
In this way the bonds and angles will
be forced to stay almost frozen by a pronounced
potential well ?

Dear Netters....

I am trying to simulate Dimethylformamide (DMF) to generate
a DMF solvent box. Structure is shown below:

	O     CH3
       ||    /
        C - N
        |    \
        H     CH3


I am using amber force field. Which carbon type is most appropriate 
for the carbonyl carbon in this molecule in the united atom representation?
Please mail directly to me at toba@retina.chem.psu.edu

Thanx a lot. 

  :) Sam Toba
