Dear Netters,

I'm writing a C++ library to deal with atoms/molecules. In the
good tradition of trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel I would
appreciate any references (or source) to algorithms for basic operations 
which can be applied to groups of atoms defined in Cartesian OR fractional
coordinate systems, e.g. torsion and "bend" angles, rotations 
along an arbitrary vector, etc. 

Also I would be interested in means of finding internal molecular 
symmetries for a given set of coordinates.

Please reply directly to me, I will summarize to the group.

Thanks,
	Ron

Hi.
I am looking for a program for viewing a molecular structure
if I have as a data input file - the file with atoms coordinates.
! Program should be HEWLETT PACKARD campatible !
An example of that kind one but non-HP - xmol. Everybody
can get latter one from ftp.kfa-juelich.de (login: ftp).
Thanks beforehand, Alexei Glotov

Hello, everyone!

We have set to develope methods for the LogP calculation. Since LogP has 
long been used as an important parameter of QSAR, much effort has been 
devoted to LogP claculation. So it is really difficult to have a thorough 
review. 

So, could you tell us which works are classical, which works are 
interesting and which works are the newest? I will appreciate it very 
much if you can give a list of related articles or books. I will surely 
put back the summary.

Thanks in advance. Please answer to my personal e-mail account.

Subject: Java chemistry applets?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Mime-Version: 1.0


Sun has been promoting a new programming language, java, as a tool
for creating portable applications on internet.  Instead of constantly
going back to the host for additional information (a response to a mouse
click, for example), the applet executes on the local client.

One of their demos is a page of molecules that can be viewed and rotated
in the web browser.  See:

http://java.sun.com/applets/applets/ChemicalModels/index.html

but you need a "java capable" web browser such as hotjava, available
>from http://java.sun.com.  Netscape has announced support for java,
but I have not seen a date for when the product will be released.

I was wondering, has anyone picked up on the Sun demo?  Are people
designing chemistry and biochemistry specific java class libraries
and applets?  Seems like it could be a powerful set of tools.

David

Subject: Cherwell Scientific announces MOL2MOL


MOL2MOL -- an easy-to-use file conversion program for the chemist.

Mol2Mol automatically converts many of the widely used file formats in
chemistry. Running under Windows, Mol2Mol helps you with the conversion,
manipulation and inspection of different molecular structure files.
Currently over twenty different molecule file formats are supported, as well
as your own free format ASCII files. Mol2Mol automatically recognizes the
format of most of these files. The program also helps in capturing
co-ordinates from the big output files of quantum chemistry programs. It
possesses some chemical intelligence for recognizing extended atom and bond
types, chemical environments, which is necessary for converting simpler
formats to SYBYL, HyperChem or PCMODEL files, for example.

Mol2Mol is more than just a file conversion system. It has a number of
features which offer
outstanding ease-of-use to a researcher who needs different tools for file
conversion and molecule
inspection.

     *  Graphical window to inspect the input molecule with standard
manipulations (translation, rotation, stereo modes etc.)
     *  Quick calculation of basic geometrical data (distances, angles,
planes, pyramidality, proton-proton and proton-methyl centroid distances etc)
     *  Simple correction of atom or bond types
     *  In the case of problems an ASCII editor for manual corrections of
input or output file
     *  Batch process for files of similar type
     *  Text window to follow the conversion process.


MOL2MOL can automatically recognize (R) and write (W) the following
co-ordinate file formats:


ALCHEMY I-III                 *RW
SYBYL MOL and MOL2            *RW
CPSS, ISIS mol                *RW
MOLIDEA                       *RW
Desktop Molecular Modeller    *RW
PCMODEL                       *RW
HyperChem                     *RW
MOBY (Cartesian)              *RW

* recognized automatically
# insertion of a marker is necessary when capturing
co-ordinates

Since many of the above programs are also capable of communicating with
others or accepting different database formats (e.g. Protein Data Bank, CSSR
files), the effective range of MOL2MOL is even wider. Several programs not
included in the above table use common formats (ChemDraw, ChemX, MPG,
Insight, etc.). MOL2MOL will continue to be developed to accept or write new
file formats (MacroModel, MDL V3000,
Insight, ChemDraw CT, Xmol, POV-Ray etc)

I've been looking at java for chemical (and other) applications. Both the
potential and the limitations are surprising in the current incarnation.
We're going to need some ports of the Solaris- and NT- specific implementations
to other platforms before java/HotJava starts to take off; the insanely
Sparc/Solaris-specific prototype was a big turn-off for me. I got the code,
and the accompanying material in effect "dares you" to port it.

Another big question was - why invent a new language for this purpose; why
not use (for example) Safe-Tcl?

My biggest problems with HotJava as it stands are that the java applets are
1) painfully unaware of the browser they're running in (for example, they
cannot (without some MAJOR hacking) access the fields of and HTML form on the
page in which they're embedded, and 2) the security aspects are pretty dismal,
despite Sun's claims to the contrary.

But the CONCEPT - active messages on the WWW - is and will be the Next Big
Thing (TM), mark my words.

Another consideration will be to establish standards. What we do not
need is many and perhaps competing applets for say visualising molecules,
or their orbitals etc etc. Thus there must be around 20-50 molecular
viewers of various sorts out there as stand alone applications, and
heaven forbid we get similar proliferation of Java applets.
