A lot is going on in this field, although I am not sure how relevant most of
this is to chemistry and biology in their current states.
Some interesting Web-pages I found are:
* http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~ale/cplxsys.html
  An Attempt To (Really) Tie Complex Systems Together
* http://alife.santafe.edu/alife/software/
  Artificial Life software
* http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ai-repository/ai/html/air.html
  CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository
* http://lenti.med.umn.edu/~mwd/md_hotlist.html
  A personal hotlist with many refs.

And of course there are various Usenet discussion groups, such as 
comp.ai.alife, comp.ai.genetic, comp.ai.neural-nets, comp.theory.cell-automata.

I'll be very interested to receive your summary!

Deer netters,

I am interested in the hydrogen bond energies between alcohols
and water: the bond should involve one water molecule and one
alcohol molecule. The important result I am looking for is the
donor - acceptor relations between the two.

Does someone have references (both experimental and theoretical)?
I would be very grateful if I could obtain them,
of course I will summarize it to the net.

This is a posting for the upcoming COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY WORKSHOP.
We have just successfully completed the January Workshop, the next two
workshops will be on Feb 1-3 & March 29-31. Up to now, we still have
couple of seats open for registration. Here is the information.

		------------------------------------
		| COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY WORKSHOP |
		------------------------------------

Intensive 3-day workshops focus on the application of modern electronic
structure methods to chemistry. Lectures will describe underlying theory,
assess the performance of modern electronic structure methods, outline
practical strategies for doing calculations, and illustrate results of
applications to diverse chemical problems. Laboratories provide hands-on
experience using a wide selection experiment, as well as ample time to
explore your own chemistry.

Lecturer: Prof. Warren Hehre;   Lab instructor: Dr. Wayne Huang

Upcoming 1995 Workshop Schedule:

		February Workshop: February 1, 2 & 3, 1995
		-----------------

		March Workshop:    March 29, 30 & 31, 1995
		--------------
		(This is right before Anaheim ACS Meeting,
                 Anaheim is 20 minutes from Irvine)

Workshops will be held at:

		Wavefunction, Inc.
		Irvine, California

These workshops will provide ...

	o Concise summary of modern electronic structure methods
		- Semiempirical
		- Ab initio
		- Density functional

	o Assessment of range and performance of electronic structure methods
		- What kinds of problems are amenable to computation?
		- What kinds of results are to be expected?

	o Hands-on experience in the use of electronic structure methods
		- How to do chemistry using computation?

	o Use of graphical models
		- Practical introduction to graphical models
		- Graphical analysis of molecular structures and properties
		- Graphcial description of chemical reactivity and selectivity

	o Demostration - Animation and visualization in organic chemistry.

Enrollment is strictly limited to eight people per workshop. Small class size
ensures each participant their own IBM RS/6000 37T workstations and plenty of
individual attention.

Mr. Heelis,

	I work with professor Eugene Stevens at the State University of New 
York.  We employ a coupled-oscillator model [1,2] for calculating the 
[M]D rotation of mono and polysaccharides.  The source code, fortran, 
for this program, MOLROT, is freely availible through us.  With the use 
of a molecular mechanics, dynamics, or ab initio program conformations 
can be generated for input into MOLROT.  We have succesfully used MOLROT 
with numerous monosacharides and dimers, and we also have a paper 
submitted for publication on, A Reexamination of the Double-Helix Model 
For Agarose Gels Using Optical Rotation, that you may be interested in.  
If you have any interest in MOLROT let me know, and I can put you into 
direct contact with professor Stevens.

	Hope this helps,

	Steven E. Schafer

Dear Colleagues;

     If anyone out there in CyberChemLand knows of an FTP site from which a
copy of the MOPAC 7, revision 2 Manual may be downloaded, kindly send me the
_complete_ address (including subdirectories and file names).  If you do not
know of such an FTP site, but have a copy of the manual on a PC diskette that
you can e-mail to me, then please contact me.

     This is my second request for the abovementioned manual.  I received no
responses the first time, but perhaps someone will be willing to contact me
after this second try.

     I thank all responders in advance for generously sharing their information
with me.

Subject: funny question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am trying to find how many organic structures with molecular weight less
than 1000 containing HNCOSP can exist that satisfy the valency constraints
of those atoms without regard to stability etc, i.e. from a purely graph-
theoretic point of view. Do you know if anyone has looked into this problem
before? If not, any ideas on how to solve it without excessive computation?
A guestimate with a reasonable rationale to support it would suffice.

Thanks,
