Hi, all,

I would greately appreciate receiving any references concerning the 
recent extensions of MNDO and PM3 methods for calculations of 
transition metal (Sc-Zn) containing compounds. As far as I know there 
were announced MNDO-d and PM3(tm) methods, but I can not find 
references to published papers.

Thank you in advance, A. Soudackov.

P.S. I'll summarize the answers to the net.

Here is my original query:

        does anyone know where I can find a good discusion about the use
of rigid vs flexible receptor models in computer-aided drug design?

Most of the replies I got were from people asking for summaries.

There are not many discussions on this topic, but you may want to look
at... 

W.L.Jorgensen, Science 254 (1991) 954-955.
"Rusting of the lock and key model for protein-ligand binding"

- this talks mainly about ligand conformation changes on binding.

A.Weichsel, W.R.Montfort, Nature Structural Biology 2 (1995) 1095-1101.
"Ligand-induced distortion of an active site in thymidylate synthase upon
binding anticancer drug 184U89"

- I'm still waiting for this to arrive via the inter library loan system
so I can't comment on it yet.

P.Groontenhuis, P.van Galen, Acta Cryst. D51 (1995) 560-566.
"Correlation of binding affinities with non-bonded interaction energies of
thrombin-inhibitor complexes"

- a QSAR binding prediction paper with some discussion about receptor
rigidity. It also references a talk Scot Dixon gave at a conference in
1994 about host conformations not changing too much on ligand binding.

And there is some work by Martin Karplus on protein dynamics, eg

R.Elber, M.Karplus, Science 235 (1987) 318-321.
"Multiple conformational states of proteins: a molecular dynamics analysis
of myoglobin"

After looking at all these and some general biochemistry text books (eg
Stryer), here's a very brief summary of what I've put in my thesis... 

there's not much doubt that proteins are rather flexible systems.
  
or that some undergo conformational changes on ligand binding.

but they achieve their prodigious catalytic abilities by binding their
substrates in conformations that distort the substrate geometry towards
the transition state of the reaction.

so as inhibitors that bind the active site generally work by mimicing
the transition states of substrates while being unable to be catalysed,
we are justified to a certain extent in using a rigid model of the
receptor - as long as it is in a conformation that causes the substrate
to adopt a transition state geometry. 

If anyone has any ideas/comments about this argument I'd be very glad to
hear them.

Hi everybody,

I am interested in calculations of the magnetic susceptibility,
among other (static) magnetic properties. I know that the
susceptibility is calculated in the IGLO program. I also know
some references for this -- simply read about any IGLO paper.

(good starting points are the various reviews of the IGLO method,
e.g., W. Kutzelnigg et al, in: NMR Basic Principles and Progress,
                           Vol.23, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1990,
                           p. 165
      W. Kutzelnigg et al, in: Nuclear Magnetic Shielding and
                           Molecular Structure (W. Tossell, Ed.),
                           NATO ASI Vol. C386, Kluwer, Dordrecht,
                           1993, p. 141
among others. The original references can be traced from the reviews)

My question now is, are there other implementations of the 
susceptibility? I am curious about all kinds of methods, ab initio
(like IGLO), DFT, semi-empirical ...

Thank you, Georg

P.S. I shall summarize to the net as usual if I get any responses.

These are all responses that I received

 *************************************************************************x
 
 It should be in one of the LINUX archives
 try sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu
 via anonymous ftp or login
 
 
 I am not 100% sure about the addresses, but if you have
 access to the web, keyword search on linux will definitely
 bring you there
 
 
 Hope it helps

 Hello, if you have access to the web, you can find the WINE faq at: 
 http://www.primenet.com/~pdg/wine-faq.html .  You can also get it by
 FTP from tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux/ALPHA/Wine/Wine.FAQ .  The faq
 is a great place to start.  It has all sorts of information, such as
 how to do the installation and which programs will run under Wine.
 
 If you have access to a USENET server, you can find information in 
 the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine USENET group.
 
 Good luck.

 Wine is one. You should be able to download it from sunsite.unc.edu
 via anon. ftp. This is "sort of works" (= it's not very good yet).
 
 There will be commercial (Sun's wabi) available from Caldera, Inc.
 soon. Check www.caldera.com .

 as far as I know the sources for the Windows emulations for LINUX should be

 several mirrors of this server.

 As far as I know actually you have two possibility to
 run ms-windows by Linux:
 
 1) wine is a windows emulator. It is still a beta release
    and only simple programs can be run by wine.
 
 2) dosemu is complete ms-dos emulator. Also this project is
    always under development, however it is in more advanced
    state than the previus one. Many programs have been reported
    to work correct under dosemu.
    Moreover it reported that win 3.1 was succesfully run by
    dosemu.
 
 Both two emulators can be found at sunsite.unc.edu or at any
 mirror.
 Hope this help,
 	Carlo
 
 P.S.: it not a trivial job; good luck!

                         ftp.cc.gatech,edu
 
 DOSEMU, as the name implies is a MS/DOS emulator.  It's my understanding
 that a Linuz MS/Windows emulator is still in very early alpha development
 and doesn't do too much.
 
 As far as I know that's it.

 Both the WINE and the DOSEMU projects are claiming pretty good success 
 with win3.1 emulation.  Normally information (and I think installation 
 files) are available in the contrib directory of the linux distribution 
 (at least I remember seeing it with slackware).  DOSEMU is definitely 
 there, and I think WINE is too.

------------
Silicon Graphics Systems Inc. and NAG Inc. joined forces in 1994
to provide a central point for IRIS Explorer development, porting,
marketing, sales, distribution and support.  The transition of
IRIS Explorer to NAG is now complete.  This new arrangement will
allow IRIS Explorer to become a stronger product and offer its
users better and broader support.

IRIS Explorer is a visual programming system for data
visualization, animation, manipulation and analysis, designed for
scientists and engineers to create applications for displaying
and analyzing complex multi-dimensional datasets interactively.

License Agreement
-----------------
IRIS Explorer is licensed by the number of simultaneous users.
The FlexLM license manager regulates the number of
simultaneous users.  One Local Controller (LC) equals four
simultaneous user sessions.  All LC's "float" across the local

Hello Duane:

Thank you for taking time to contact NAG Inc. about our software
products and services.  You are requesting information on IRIS
Explorer.

Introduction
------------
Silicon Graphics Systems Inc. and NAG Inc. joined forces in 1994
to provide a central point for IRIS Explorer development, porting,
marketing, sales, distribution and support.  The transition of
IRIS Explorer to NAG is now complete.  This new arrangement will
allow IRIS Explorer to become a stronger product and offer its
users better and broader support.

IRIS Explorer is a visual programming system for data
visualization, animation, manipulation and analysis, designed for
scientists and engineers to create applications for displaying
and analyzing complex multi-dimensional datasets interactively.

License Agreement
-----------------
IRIS Explorer is licensed by the number of simultaneous users.
The FlexLM license manager regulates the number of
simultaneous users.  One Local Controller (LC) equals four
simultaneous user sessions.  All LC's "float" across the local
network.  Heterogeneous networks require separate implementations
for execution on different computer types.

I am interested in the coordinates for human serum albumin or ?? serum 
albumin.  I know that there are published reports of the crystal 
structure but I am unaware if the coordinates are available.

Thanks
