Subject: Using valence double zeta basis in MOLPRO94? 


Dear colleagues,

  Can somebody out there give me some advice or sample inputs as
an example of how to define your own primitives and contractions
within the MOLPRO94 package?  I want to use Dunning/Hay "valence
double zeta" basis set (T.H.Dunning, Jr., P.J.Hay Chapter 1 in 
"Methods of Electronic Structure Theory", H.F.Schaefer III, Ed.
Plenum Press, N.Y. 1977, pp 1-27). MOLPRO basis set library does not
include this basis set, so I have to define the primitives and 
contractions. There is no example of this kind in the manual, 
although the syntax for contracted set definitions is described 
in chapter 10.
 Thanks in advance.

        Dear Netters:

        We have installed XMol 1.3.1 in our Silicon Graphics Indigo (R4000,
IRIX 4.0.5F) and when we tried to run the program we get the following error
message:

        xmol: bad file number

        Has anyone found this error before? We would appreciate any help.

        Another question: Does anybody know if there is a version of Xmol
for Power Macintosh?

Thank you.

I wish to compare the reactivity of various molecules in the ground
state.
I use the energie of the HOMO, computed with a quantum mechanics
semi-empirical method, as one index of this reactivity.
The molecules are cyclic conjugated systems (5 members, 6 members,
7 members, bicyclic systems, ...) with donor substituants.

I would like to know if there is a semi-empirical method which is
more suitable to use (AM1, PM3, ...) or if I have to use an ab initio
method to compare the HOMO's.

In addition, is there one computational method more adapted than
another one regarding to the structures of the molecules ?

Thank you very much in advance for all the responses I hope to
receive.

Sincerely yours.

Dear,

Has anybody got some example input file(s) for calculations with GAMESS

Where can I get the latest revision of these ECP's ?

Hi,

   It seems that many of the molecular docking packages only handle rigid 
molecules.  Anyone knows of any packages (public-domain or commerical or

Has anyone any information regarding a program called PROBE?
Specifically, I'd like a journal citation or such so that I can find
out more about it.  It is written by Inna Dubchak, Stephen Holbrook,
and Sung-Hou Kim at U. Cal-Berkley.
 
Also, any user comments would be useful.
 
Thanks in advance...

                                 2nd Call for Papers

A symposium entitled "Handling the Information Explosion in Combinatorial
Chemistry" will
be held in the Division of Chemical Information (CINF) of the ACS at the 1996
Spring
Meeting, New Orleans, March 24-29 1996.

The symposium will focus on the problems of handling the massive amount of
chemical
information generated by combinatorial chemistry projects. Presentations are
invited which
discuss the problems of registration of libraries and their components;
searching in
combinatorial library databases; tracking of libraries, components and
precursors; and
ties between chemical information systems and automated synthesis and
screening.
Contributions are invited from software vendors and papers from end-users
describing their
experiences using commercial combinatorial chemistry software, developing
in-house systems
or integrating combinations of the two are particularly welcome.

If you are interested in contributing to this symposium, please email or fax a
title and
short summary highlighting the topics you wish to address as soon as possible
and no later
than October 16th. Official ACS abstracts are due by 1st Novemeber.

Please send your summary and any enquiries to:

	Mark G. Bures, Robert D. Brown, Yvonne C. Martin

Dear Netters,

I would like to know if somebody could share with me an electronic (text or 
postcript) copy of the NBO manual (available via FTP or WWW). I have already 
done a search into the CCL archive, but infortunately the copy that resides in: 
/chemistry/software/SOURCES/FORTRAN/nbo/junk/nbo.txt has several pages corrupted 
(from p.35 to p.61) and therefore is unreadable. 

  Many thanks for your help,

G. Suner

Subject: Amsterdam DF calcs on a Dec Alpha


Hello everyone,

I am seeking information regarding the use of the Amsterdam Density
Functional program package (ADF) on a Dec Alpha machine.  Before I purchase
the ADF program (to replace my trouble-prone Xalpha-scattered wave method)
I want to make sure that I won't run into costly technical difficulties.  I
am on the faculty at a small, liberal-arts school with no money for
last-minute RAM upgrades, etc. 

I will be using a Dec Alpha 2000/300 machine running OSF/1 3.2A as its
operating system.  It has 128 mB of RAM, with about half a gigabyte of disk
space available to me.  This machine is also our campus mail server, and
host to several other Internet-related softwares (I have to share it with
many people!).  The clusters I will be studying are generally 30 atoms or
fewer, and of relatively high symmetry.  I would like to hear from anyone
running ADF under same/similar conditions as to ease of installation, RAM
and disk space recommendations, and any other considerations.

Thank you,

Kristine Butcher

How do *you* handle phi-psi plots?  
 
We are working with some carbohydrate models and want to show contour
maps for rotation about the glycosidic linkages.  We also want to find
the most favorable combination of phi/psi between two residues.  (The
specific residues involve are unusual sugars.  So no one has made a
study like this before.)
 
The data is generated using Biosym's Discover using the rotors
command.  The output is a formatted *.tor file.
 
I can get a reasonable plot using Biosym's InsightII with Analysis.
Eventually, we would want to show the contours for publication
illustrations.  However, the plots from Analysis are truncated, i.e.
the axes are shorter than -180 to +180 degrees.  I am unable to expand
the axes to the the range.  Any suggestions on how to expand them?
 
Also, the Biosym plot does not leave a lot of flexibility for drawing
contours and labeling them for publication purposes.  
 
So what do others use?  Would GNU-Plot be useful here?
 
I'll summarize if I get any responses.

I wrote a small utility program to go along with Spartan.  The program
will generate a 2 or 3 dimensional gnuplot data file from the list of
Spartan molecules resulting from conformational analysis (or reaction
coordinate) calculations.  This can then be used within gnuplot to
generate a Phi plot, or a Phi-Psi plot using contours, meshes, etc.

Feel free to drop me a note if you need more info.

Please, contact Kenny K.H. Toh (ktoh@td2cad.intel.com) 
to tell you an "ftp" or "web" site where you may find his program 
	PLOTMTV (fast multi-purpose program for X11-windows). I've used it
	to obtain contour plots and I am very pleased with it.
	You may also try Harvard ChartXL for the PC.  It imports "lotus",
	"excel" and various "data" and "text" files and can also generate 
	contour plots.   Stanford Graphics for Windows is also a good option.
