Dear Colleagues;

     A few days ago I posted a query about PC programmes than can be used for
deconvoluting spectra or chromatogrammes.  Despite the season a number of useful
replies were forthcoming, which I wish to summarise for the list.

     One respondent advised me of a programme written in FORTRAN77 named LGFIT2,
which will deconvolute complex spectra into sets of overlapping Lorentzian or
Gaussian bands, and which is downloadable from http:// www.kfa-juelich.de:80/
zam/CompServ/software/mathe/mathsrc/cpc/abmk.cpc; unfortunately, at the moment
I myself can't download from the WWW.  Moreover, I have neither the tools nor
the skills to port a FORTRAN77 programme to DOS/Windows.  However, if anybody
out there would be willing to undertake such a challenging port and actually    port and g port and actually suc-
succeeds, I would very much like to hear from you later.                        r from you [3~ceeds, I would very much like to hear from you later.

     Another kind correspondent pointed out that the principle of superposition
says that a chromatogramme or spectrum consisting of two overlapping peaks can
be expressed as

            f(x) = A*exp((-a)*(x-xa)**2)) + B*exp((-b)*(x-xb)**2))

so it is "simply" a matter of calculating appropriate values for A, a, xa, B, b,
and xb that will regenerate your spectrum or chromatogramme of interest.  He
added that it shouldn't be such a formidible task to do this by hand (well, I
suppose not if you've hand a brain implant from Riemann) but that it can also be
done rather simply using Excel or some similar spreadsheet programme.  Again,
unfortunately, I don't have ready access to Excel or related spreadsheet pro-
grammes, and a couple of "quickie" attempts to arrive at the six parameters by
hand weren't very fruitful.

     Finally, I did a WWW (Lycos) search for "curve fitting" and located a Win-
dows shareware programme by Prof. Dr. Daniel Hyams of Clemson University that
did the trick.  Since the sum of two Gaussians is not included in the pro-
gramme's repertoire of mathematical models, I simply added the aforementioned
equation to "User's Models" and ran my data through it on a Pentium-90 MHz fit-
ted with MS-DOS 6.2 + Windows for Workgroups 3.11 + 80 MB RAM.  A minute or two
after initiating the calculation out popped a set of six parameters which gene-
rated a curve mathing my experimental one with a correlation coefficient
r = 0.9999, which I think you will agree is reasonably acceptable.

     Since Prof. Dr. Hyams' programme is shareware (registration fee = US$35.-),
I hesitate to provide the FTP site from which I downloaded it.  For details, I
suggest that you contact Prof. Dr. Hyams personally at

                        dhyams@eng.clemson.edu.

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE SPRING 1997 ACS MTG. IN SAN FRANCISCO

DIVISION:  COMP


*** PLEASE NOTE THE 15 AUGUST 1996 DEADLINE FOR TITLE SUBMISSION ***


CALL FOR PAPERS

American Chemical Society
213th National Meeting
Division of Computational Chemistry (COMP)
April 13-17, 1997, San Francisco, CA

SIMULATIONS OF INORGANIC AND ORGANOMETALLIC MATERIALS

Papers are solicited for the above symposium.  Due to a relocation of
the organizer during the past several months, would-be presenters may 
have encountered difficulty in contacting me, and I apologize for the 
inconvenience.

This symposium was conceived as a forum for the discussion of issues related
to the modeling of materials other than organic polymers.

At this time I am requesting input of titles/subjects of proposed 
presentations.  Topics include (but are not limited to) simulation
of metals, metal alloys, ceramics, hybrid or composite materials.
Simulation of surface and interphase phenomena including small 
molecule binding and catalysis would, I think, also be appropriate to this 
symposium. 

It is necessary to have the initial input NO LATER than 15 August 1996 for 
planning purposes.  Abstracts are required by October 25th 1996.  
Abstract forms can be obtained from ACS by calling 1-800-227-5558 (press
9-4-0); via the web at http://ww.acs.org/memgen/meetings/abstract.htm; or 
by writing to ACS, 1155 Sixteenth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036.

Dear Netters,

your enourmous integral knowledge
must provide the right answer to the following:

There is a really urgent need to pick up
a reliable version of a FORTRAN code
which is capable of making 3d-integration,
as well as codes which can do 3d-interpolation
and differentiation for smooth enough functions.

There is NO need in extreme efficiency,
it must have normal efficiency but be reliable enough.

A freeware is needed, ftp-able, or obtainable from authors,
or otherwise. May be GNU has something?! Any one knows?

The functions I am working with are quite smooth:
these are basically an electrostatic potential
in molecule or some related function.

Besides, if any one knows free FORTRAN code,
which is specialized on the 3d-integration,
interpolation and differentiation for
3d-Gaussian functions - that would be simply great!

Summary will be posted - no doubt.

Sincerely,
Ayaz Bakasov.

Dear netters

I will teach a course in "Theoretical DNA and Protein analysis" and as
more and more of the tools get available over the WWW I will focus on
using the WWW to analyze the sequence/protein you are interested in.

The students will work on a small set of selected sequence and use the
WWW to try to find out as much as possible about these proteins. In a
way it is similar to what Tim Hubbard and Anna Tramontano did but on a
much smaller scale. We will use this course as a test of different
servers that are available over the net. A summary evaluating the
different servers will be published on the net.

SO I would rally appreciate
1) Any server that you want the students to use and test. 
   (If you have a small, easy to use and fast program that you want
ous to test we can provide a WWW interface for the server)
2) Any comprehensive list of servers and others related links.
3) Any protein sequence that you want the students to work on. 
4) Anything else you can think I have use of.



thank you a lot

I will summarize respons and put up a WWW page with all received
information.

Some of the utilities which come with GroMacs are written is C++. But it
is not a PD program. But some of the basic numeric algorithms have been
written in C++ (like matrix manipulations) - see the list of freeware
numerical code in C/C++.

But what about chemistry code in Java? How has some examples of that?

    This might not be what you want, but if you are looking
      for example chemistry code I'd recommend checking out
      RasMol/RasMac.  The code is copyright by Roger Sayle 
      (ras32425@ggr.co.uk)--so definitely not PD.  Also, it's
      in std C rather than using the oop aspects of C++ 
      but it is valuable reference code.  It can be accessed at: 
      
                 <ftp://129.215.160.5/pub/rasmol/>
