Hello,

   Anyone knows if there are good packages that use genetic algorithms or 
simulated annealing to determine minimum structures of small molecules
(ex: short peptide chains)?  I will post a summary of relevant replies.

Best Regards,

Can anyone who has attended a previous meeting of the International 
Conference on Computers in Chemical Research and Education tell me there 
reaction to the conference??  The 11th will be held in Paris in July 
1995.  The program sounds good but I would like to know a bit more...how 
many attend, are there sessions in English (or translated).  Would 
appreciate any comments if you've attended one before!

Mary -

I have attended most of the past ICCCRE's.  The meetings are generally 
quite good. About 200-300 people attend.  All the papers are in english.
As a speaker at the meeting this year I suppose I am a bit biased too.

This is my experience as well.  Whether the user error trashes the
malloc() arena or not depends essentially on luck.

You can also use the public-domain dbmalloc package, by Conor Cahill.
As I understand it, this package does things similar to what Konrad
suggests.  Conor also has a commercial package called Sentinel which
does fancier things as well.

I've had great success with dbmalloc over the years -- most recently,
about two weeks ago!
