Hi!

Can anyone shed some light on the difference between chelp and chlepg for
esp fitting?

Thanks in advance

SMILES CODE FOR DESCRIBING MOLECULAR STRUCTURES

I received about 20 responses to my request for information on Smiles Code.
Most of the responses can be summarized as follows:

1.  Smiles is an easy to use code for describing a chemical structure as
a string of text.  For simple molecules without rings, the text string is
similar to the usual chemical structure, written as a line of text, with
hydrogen atoms omitted.  The Smiles code can be read as input by
computer programs and chemical databases.

2.  Excellent tutorials and information on Smiles Code can be obtained
>from the web site:  http://www.daylight.com

3.  An excellent journal reference, with clearly explained rules
for Smiles Code, is
"SMILES, a Chemical Language and Information System.  1. Introduction
to Methodology and Encoding Rules" by David Weininger
J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci.  1988,  Vol 28, pages 31-36

However, just as the chemical structure for a chemical compound can often
be represented in many ways, the Smiles code is often not unique.  A later
paper describes a method for the unique generation of Smiles code.  However
that paper discusses computer algorithms and will not be of interest to a
chemist who wants to know the basic encoding rules.  The reference is
"SMILES. 2. Algorithm for Generation of Unique SMILES Notation"
David Weininger, Arthur Weininger, Joseph L. Weininger
J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci.  1989,  Vol 29, pages 97-101


SPECIFIC COMMENTS AND EXAMPLES OF SMILES CODE

From: jsb2@camsoft.com
Subject: Re: CCL:Smiles Code
SMILES is a line notation for chemical structures.  It was developed by
Daylight and lots of information is available from their site
(http://www.daylight.com).  Basically, single bonds are implied by default,
and hydrogens are implicit, so CCC is propane.  Branches are shown by
parentheses: CC(O)C is isopropanol.  Double bonds are equals signs: CC=CC is
2-butene.  Ring closures are shown by matching numbers: C1CCCCC1 is
cyclohexane.  The rules get more complicated, but that's the general idea.
SMILES is a very compact way to store chemical structures in a textual
form.

CS ChemDraw Net is freely available from
http://www.camsoft.com/chemfinder/download.html and will allow you to create
SMILES strings for most any structure you can draw.  You can use SMILES
strings to search WWW databases such as the one at
http://chemfinder.camsoft.com (and they of course have many other non-WWW
uses as well)

From: Sjors Wurpel <sjorsw@org.chem.uva.nl>
A SMILES string is a way of describing a chemical structure in a line of
text. It can be created with e.g. CSC ChemDraw package (copy SMILES). It
looks like this:

trans-2-amino-cyclohexanol = [NH2]C1C([OH])CCCC1



From: "J. Eric Slone" <eslone@erols.com>
SMILES is simplified molecular input line entry system... there is
an on-line guide on the web.
Examples are CC(=O)O for acetic acid and c1ccccc1 for benzene.



From: Alan Shusterman <Alan.Shusterman@directory.Reed.EDU>
SMILES is a language that was invented by David Weininger (DAYLIGHT Inc.).
The language provides a simple means for writing complex molecular
structures as a one-line code, and to have a computer recognize the code,
e.g., the SMILES coding of most molecular formulas is not unique, but
Weininger was able to find an efficient way to compare and recognize
different SMILES for the same molecule, and to use this as a database
key for information about the molecule.

Chem3D Pro will do this, but is not free.
Chem3D Net is freely available from http://www.camsoft.com and will do this,
and will let you view the hydrogenated structure onscreen, but will not 
allow you to save the changes.

This is a question that comes up periodically.  You chould check the CCL 
archives, probably in the 2-3 months ago range.  There are a number of
other programs that can do this.  I definitely remember a discussion
that Macromodel can, but I don't remember the others offhand.

hmm..I don't know about any other web browsers, but with Netscape and

>	Panel Discussion on Computational Thermochemistry
>
>	  (Symposium on Computational Thermochemistry)
>
>	Tuesday, August 27, 10-noon Omni-Rosen Hotel, Salon 15 (level 2)
>
>	
>Topic areas will include:
>
>	Thermochemical data needs in industry, academia, military, etc.
>	Bottlenecks in generating data
>	Experimental verification needs
>	Suggestions for techniques development (user friendliness, etc.)
>	Condensed phase data (vaporization heats, sublimation heats,...)
>	Common, consensus test data set for model verification 		
>
>Panel Members:
>
>                Dr. David Frurip (Discussion Leader)
>                The Dow Chemical Co.

>This panel discussion offers a unique opportunity for both the users of
>thermochemical data and the researchers who are developing the techniques to
>discuss, in an open forum, how to work toward common goals which are mutually
>beneficial. 
>
>If you are involved with the development of new computational methods,  
>you should come away from this discussion with a clearer picture of the actual 
>thermochemical needs in both the industrial and academic areas.  These needs 
>may be data on particular classes of compounds or they may be
technique-related.
>
>If you are a user of thermochemical data, this is your opportunity to advertise
>your concerns, needs, and experiences to a broad audience.  We hope to arrive
>at a consensus list of reasonable ideas which can be translated into tangible
>action items.
