This is a wonderful step for people who need to do simulations with ions.
Could someone let us know how to get this forcefield as it does not
appear to be in the $BIOSYM_LIBRARY directory of the 235 (latest?)
release.

    We are using our own mofification of MOPAC 6.0 - it has been 
extensively changed as far as the file use and error diagnostics is 
concerned (I think it is more convenient to use than the standard 
version). Both the OSF/1 and OS/2 compiled versions are available on 
request.

SUBJ:  "Stereokit" Twin 35mm 3-D Slide Viewer

I am inquiring to see if anyone knows of a company that sells
a "Stereokit" Twin 35mm 3-D Slide Viewer.  This slide viewer is 
imported from Italy and features a screw interocular 
adjustment, vertical right side adjustment, 
and hold-up-to-the-light illumination.  

This device allows one to view 35mm slide stereo images
of molecules.  Twin format is also know as 2X2X2 format
(inches) or 2X50X50 format (mm).
 
The last place we purchased these viewers from was Reel 3-D
Enterprises Inc., Culver City, CA (for about $19.95).  
This company is no longer in business.  

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The ESFF force field recently released by Biosym has parameters for Zn. The
force field is a broad rule-based force field which covers the periodic table
to Randon (86).

Subject: CCL:  optimizing code for SGI Challenge



  I'm wondering if anyone has experience in
optimizing molecular dynamics code to take
advantage of the cache space on the new SGI
Challenge machines.  In principle, the Challenge
machine should be capable of a large speed-up
over the R440 machines if the code is
optimized.  Does anyone have experience
working on this?

  I would be happy to summarize to the net if
people want to reply directly to me.


  Thanks!

Subject: LogP estimation questions


Folks,

	Kantola, Villar and Loew discuss an atom-based method for 
estimating Log P for molecules containing H, C, N, O, F and Cl.  The
specific reference is "Atom Based Parameterization for a Conformationally
Dependent Hydrophobic Index", A. Kantols, H. O. Villar and G. H. Loew,
J. Comp. Chem. 12, 681(1991).  I have several questions about this work,
and I hope somebody familiar with it is reading...

1) It refers to Van der Waals radii from Gavezzotti, J. Am. Chem. Soc.
105, 5220(1983).  Does anybody have these numbers on-line or at hand to
post or email them?  The article implies that there are differences with
these values as compared with "typical" values, and I am curious (havving
spent some time collecting VdW radii).

2) Has there been any corrections to this work?  If I compare my results
against those published in the article, the results for F-containing
compounds seem VERY different.

3) Has this work been extended to additional atoms?  A later review
article (Viswanadhan et al, J. Comp. Chem. 14, 1019(1993)) does not
refer to this work.

4) This work refers to the total charge of individual atoms.  In order
to reproduce the published results, I have to substitute the valence
charge (particularly for Cl).  This discrepancy, coupled with the
fact that MNDO and AM1 are being used, suggests the valence charge was used
without explicit reference.  Is this correct?

I would appreciate any comments from folks interested in log-P estimation,
particularly in regards to non-database methods (atom or fragment QSAR
models, etc).

Thanks in advance,

Joe Leonard

If you mean by "atom or fragment QSAR" that you dont want additive 
substituent models (like CLOGP from Hansch and Leo, or Rekker's method), 
then there is a commercially available package (which 
I happen to sell...) called SciLogP (and also SciLogW for solubility 
estimation) which is an implimentation of Bodor's method.  This uses
an open regression model, based on a database, but is not "additive" in 
the same sense as the CLOGP method.
Another old-by-now "computational" method was by Hopfinger, for example. 
And, HyperChem (which I also sell...) has Crippen and Ghose method. I hope 
this helps.

Subject: Protein Structure/COnformational Analysis ?


Hi everyone

  I am looking for the programs/algorithms/references regarding protein
  structure analysis. I mean the analysis of various conformational
  features by which we can compare two proteins, Can comment on
  flexibility/accesibility or get  other topological/geometrical feauters.

  I remember P-Curve long back but do not have a ready reference or address
  of source to get it. 

  In case of programs I am mainly interested in PD stuff, but will
  appreciate commercial also and may even go for it if budget permit.

Thanks
