Hi,

Although there are many people interested in obtaining code for solid state
calculation, it seems that there is no free code available. Concerning 
there are quite a few free/low cost ab initio/DFT package available, I am a 
bit surprised. Is that because the solid state calculation was developed 
earlier than other calculations on molecules, so most of the packages are 
now distributed commerically?  I am just curious.....

		        	 and 
		C A L L   F O R   C O N T R I R I B U T I O N S.

   The Second Electronic Glycoscience Conference (EGC-2) will be held on
the Internet and World Wide Web from Sept 9 - Sept 20 1996. Conference
subject areas will include 

- Glycosyltransferases
- Glycoimmunology
- Primary Structure Determination
- Glycolipids;
- Organic Synthesis
- Molecular Modelling, Design and Informatics
- Lectins;
- Polysaccharides and Cellulose
- Proteoglycans and Glycosaminoglycans;
- Glycomedicine
- Carbohydrate Biotechnology
- Glycobiology
- Crystallography;
- NMR
- Function of Carbohydrates in Biological Systems;
- Perspectives.

   Papers and Posters wil be presented on the Web during EGC-2.  Authors may
opt for permanent publication of their presentations either as a regular
journal article in a special issue of Glycoconjugate Journal or on a CD-ROM
on the Glycosciences, which will appear early '97.

   Contributions for the Molecular Modelling, Design and Informatics (MMDI
for short) section that fall within the general scope of the conference, and
have development and application of theoretical methods as it's main topic,
are warmly welcomed. Theoretical approaches encompass almost any method,
such as quantum-chemical, semi-emperical, molecular mechanics, Monte Carlo,
Molecular Dynamics, and variation thereoff, as well as data-base based
methods. Also invited are contributions that employ approaches that have
their origin in theoretical biology, such as genetic algorithms,
game-strategies etc. (see, e.g., Science 271 (1996), 1365).
   A strong link between theoretical and experimental work is encouraged,
and contributions that deal with macromolecular systems or complexes
(carbohydrate-carbohydrate or carbohydrate-protein) are especially wellcome. 

For more information on the EGC-2 (how to register, hard/software
requirements etc.), please check out
http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/egc2/home_fr.html. If you want to submit
contributions to other sections, you will find the right convener there. 

Deadline for submission of abstracts is 17 June, and can be sent via e-mail
only (!!) to:

Dear CCLers,

  I'm working about the isomerization dynamics of polyenes.
I found it's difficult to determine the van der Waals 
(Lennard-Jones) interation parameter with the ab-initio
energies of some geometries.
  Does anyone know the literature concerning those parameters 
of the atoms in polyenes(C4H6,C6H8 ...)? Any hints or comments
are welcomed.
  Thanks in advance.

		Dear Netters

	I would greatly like to get MOPAC version modified in 1989 by the 
Alan Katritzky's Group and publicated in the J. Org. Chem. 1989, which make 
quantitative predictions of tautomeric equilibria in aqueos solutions using 
AM1 with Reaction Field Teory.
 	Although MOPAC7 and MOPAC93 versions include COSMO and Tomasi 
solvent models, I'm intersted on the Onsager's model, even knowing that 
this model don't yelds much better results. However, such modified 
routines are very important to my work. Does anybody can help me ?

		Thank you in advance.

The problem is probably because you have selected only part of the system
for the calculation, and the capping atom which lies along the classical-
quantum boundary is not parameterized.  For example, if I select only
the O atom in H2SO and start an MNDO single-point calculation, I get an
error message: "Capping atom 1 with atomic number 16: the Slater exponent
of s orbital is less then or equal to zero..."  The trivial solution is
to select all of the atoms, or to select none of them so that the entire
system is used.  If you really do want to calculate only part of the
system, you will probably need either to add parameters for the capping
atom(s), or remove the bonds from the system so that none of the atoms
are capping-type.

Does anybody know a drawing program we can use to generate the Z-matrix
for DOS or Windows? I know CAChe Editor is very good but it's for Mac. (CAChe
Editor combines with CAChe MOPAC can generate Z-matrix but Editor  alone
can't). It's better to be a freeware or shareware. Thank you for any response.

Just a thought, cannot you use xmol of the pc to convert from carts to 
z-matrix?

program generates the Z-matrix. Xmol is probably not what I want. Thanks,

Subj:	Re: CCL:M:Drawing program to generate Z-matrix

you might like to have a look at MolEdit which might do what you want.
It combines a text editor with a molecular viewer, so it lets you control
your current input file. It's not a click and draw program, because I 
prefer to write my Z-matrix by hand.

MolEdit is available both as a DOS and a Windows version. The windows
version is still beta, so not everything works but it's basic features 
are ok. Have a look at my home page
http://www.organik.uni-erlangen.de/clark/gedeck/

Please drop me a note, if you download the windows version and especially
if you have ideas about its improvement or bug reports.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Gedeck

[Comment: Thanks, Dr. Gedeck. Again it's not what I want. But I tried it. It
worked great as you said.]

mine (Given a Z-matrix, ask CAChe Editor to generate the molecule picture

Editor. Later Dr. Manli Zheng also answered this question. I'm not including it
here but if you need it I'll e-mail you.]

Subj:	Re: CCL:M:Drawing program to generate Z-matrix

Hi, Yong,
The CAChe standalone PC will do this indirectly, in that if the user runs MOPAC,
they will get a Z Matrix in the MOPAC Input file.  However, there is no way
to do this directly, since there is no user interface for MOPAC.  On the Mac,
you could select the molecule, and then do "Create MOPAC Input" from the
Options menu, and have a Z Matrix in the MOPAC Input file generated.

Dear Yong;

        PCMODEL from Serena Software is relatively inexpensive for academia
and works very well. I use it to generate Z-matrices for MOPAC to operate
on. CONVENIENT to draw and save files in different formats.

CS Chem3D can do this.
Also, I'm pretty sure that CAChe is now available for Windows.

More information about CS Chem3D is available from http://www.camsoft.com
I'm not sure, but http://www.cache.com would be a good guess for info on CAChe

Yes. There is such a program for MS-Windows it is called StrukEd.
Even the LITE-version can do all those things you are expecting:
 - 2D drawing with mouse and to assemble templates from menue
 - 2D >> 3D conversion (very reliable results with possible conformers in the
         cyclic substructures, you can chose those you want)
 - interactive modification of all degrees of struc tural freedom
 - automatic generation of Z-Matrix
 - interactive modification of Z-Matrix and constraints of optimisation
 - write MOPAC input files
 - read MOPAC output files
 - draws MOPAC structures, charges, orbitals  etc.
 - supported data handling (internal database)
 - empirical calculation of atomic charges from topology (PEOE)
 - empirical calculation of molecular polarisability
 - Huckel-Molecular Orbitals from topology (visualisation of P-Matrix and
        orbitals)

The full-Version can do additional things like:
 - handling up to 10 structures in separate Windows (for comparison)
 - RMS of similar structures (you can chose which pairs are taken into account)
 - generation of INPUT and reading OUTPUT for molecular mechanics and 
        quantum mechanics standard programs (here not included)
 - PIMM, ZINDO, GAMESS, GAUSSIAN92 (94)
 - reads CSD (cambridge X-ray structural database)
 - reads and writes the formats (MOPAC-Z matrix, MDL, SMD and PDB files)

 
StrukEd-Lite is available from:
     Umschau Verlag

     D-58207 Schwerte (Germany)
             Fax +49-2304-83271
             Phone       -81854

     (StrukEd is not expensive, DEMO version is available aprox. 20.-DM)

Subj:	CCL:M:Z-matrix generation

A solution could be Mol2Mol 3.1 from Cherwell Sci. Publ., Oxford.
It is a chemical file conversion utility, and not for drawing, but
understands a lot of formats of other programs. If you have a 3D structure
created by another modelling program, Mol2mol converts it to a Z-matrix 
interactively, i.e. you can create different Z-matrices with different
formats and by using different algorithms from the same molecule.

[Comment: Thanks to Drs. M.Zheng, L.Wilson, J.Brecher, Horst and T.Gunda.
The new PC version of CAChe Editor (with MOPAC), CSChem3D and StrukEd-Lite 
seem to be what I want. Mol2Mol still requires Z-matrix or other written,
not drawn, input. The traditional way to generate input, i.e. writing a
Z-matrix, is much appreciated but just not efficient at least for me. However,
manually altering the Z-matrix is useful so it's best to have the program to
go in both ways: Z-matrix <--> picture.]

Dear netters:

Does anyone know what is corresponding ECP basis set in G94 to SBK basis 
set in GAMESS? I first thought that CEP-31G in G94 should be the same as 
SBK in GAMESS, but I found that CEP-31G gives lower energy.

Dear Netters,
        I am interested in the method for atmomistic modeling of
well-relaxed amorphous polymers.
The model system must be a rectangular parallelepiped with two dimentional
boundaries, 
because I would like to simulate the confined amorphous polymer by MD.
Does anybody know the references abount this?
Thanks for your help.
