I am trying to model the effects of Methyl groups on a molecule using mopac,
by comparing whole molecules with those with certain methyl groups missing.
I already have z-matrices for the complete molecule, however I am having
problems with removing methyl groups. The way I am doing this is 'commenting
out' the relevent methyl groups as follows.

M-CH3 becomes
M-HX3 
where X refers to a dummy atom.

On substution the M-C distance is 1.5 A and the M-H distance is 1.1 A the
bond angles and dihedral angles remain the same

This however doesn't appear to work. The hydrogens that replace the methyl
carbons do not appear in the 'right' place. When running the job in mopac it
complains that atoms are too close to each other or in straight lines. Also
when examing the file using RasMol it appears that the hydrogens are in the
same position as the atom they are supposed to be bonded to (i.e. the bond
length is 0 not 1.1 A as specified)

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong,

Cheers
Ratty

Spartan's PM3(tm) has copper parameters built-in, with facus on obtaining
geometry and reproducing X-ray structure. I will be more than happy to
run a test case for you.

Have a good one!

A small trick is involved.  Select the Naphthyl fragment from Rings in the
builder.  Put the fragment in the builder window, and then click on the
1-position to make 1,1'-binaphthyl (note: make sure the little circle on the
Naphthyl fragment is also on the 1-position).  Then press space bar and the
middle mouse button to do an internal rotation (this makes the binaphthyl
nonplanar).  Finally, add two aromatic C fragments to make the "middle" benzene
ring.  Minimize and you should get C2-symmetry (chiral) [5]helicene.

Hi Alex,

I don't have a reference supporting your particular application:

>I have heard that it is 'OK' to use MP4 energyies from MP2 structures - IE
>MP4 energy hyper-planes are parrallel to MP2 ones.
>
>Does anyone know of a good paper to support this idea. . .

But your observation:

>. . . would that not
>suggest that mp2 energy differences are better than MP2 energies?

is absolutely correct, and important to remember in the general case, not
only for MP2 etc.  With few exceptions, systematic errors tend to cancel
within a given method, so that energy differences have less error than
absolute energies.  This is true for correlated and uncorrelated HF, DFT,
and semiempirical methods.

One "difference" that this isn't as useful for, is activation energies with
semiempirical methods.  Here you are looking at the difference between a
ground state and an excited state, so the errors aren't all systematic: they
tend to be different for excited state molecules than for ground state
molecules in semiempirical parameterizations.  Even here, though, if you
look at RELATIVE activation barriers (ie. the difference between energy
differences) you again get better accuracy due to cancellation of systematic
errors.  The use of isodesmic reactions to improve accuracy when calculating
thermodynamic data relies on this type of cancellation: when you are
comparing systems that are similar (in this case matching the bonding to
define similarity) systematic errors tend to cancel.

In the case of the shape of a potential surface, you are comparing VERY
similar systems (ie. the same molecule in different geometries) within any
local region.  So, unless you are mapping the surface all the way from a
ground state to a transition state, you get very good cancellation, and
therefore very parallel surfaces.  To my mind, this is sort of what's behind
G2 theory (much discussed on the CCL since you posted your note, I see): you
know the calculations you can afford to do are going to be offset from the
"truth", but to the extent that different calculations (size of basis set,
and degree of correlation) systematically differ from the "truth," you can
use them to estimate the "true" energy.

I am trying to add nmr psuedo atoms to my peptide in order to minimize the
structure using NOE constraints.  So far I have added the psuedo atoms, in
the correct positions, to the psf.  My thinking then was to add bonds
(patch) from the psuedo atom to the respective hydrogens that define where
each pseudo atom is placed. Then using SHAKE on all bonds to hydrogen;
when the psuedo atom moved, the hydrogens would move with it.

My question is this:  To make the bonds to do this, am I going to have to
modify the rtf (residue topology file)?  Am I going about this wrong and
is there an easier way to do this?

Omer,

I have 9-helicene structures with both chiral forms (left- and right-handed),
which have been optimized by AM1. The chiral structure was generated from
its counter-part by symmetry operation with XZ plane reflection. Both
have C2 symmetry. I have merged these two together. You should be able to
build any chiral helicene by manipulating this template. The input file
is attached. Use Import feature to open it with Spartan.

Have fun!

Netters:

I am wondering if there is a good program that will draw reliable Kekule
structures for conjugated systems of a given connectivity and given atomic
hybridisations...

Will gladly share any info rec'd!

Thanks!

John
