Dear Netters: 

Last week, I have posted a question seeking info on Virtual Reality for
Molecular Modelling. Thanks to all who responded. I have summarised all
the replies after giving a small note.

For the benefit of non-VR people:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The field of chemistry is one of the most interesting fields for
applications in Virtual Reality.  The traditional approach to molecular
modelling is through the use of a workstation and an interactive graphics
system. The VR approach is to immerse the scientist such that he or she
can interact directly with the graphical representation of the molecule. 

You can visit my homepage for some interesting links to VR.
(http://144.16.73.100/~parthi/vrml/index.html)
This is just few days old. You may like to visit this page again after
couple of weeks. At a later date, u can find my article on "VR for
Molecular Modelling" in this page. 

But still I am searching more info on 

*  virtual prototyping of molecular structures;  this will be helpful for
 the physically handicapped (especially blind)students to learn chemistry
and
*  providing music beats to amino acids in proteins; this will help us
 to find out the sequence of amino acids based on the rhythm...!!!!!) 
 (I would appreciate to receive any info on these two aspects.)

Thank you again for the replies and I would appreciate to receive any
other info related to this topic. Thanks in advance. :-)

Sincerely

Dear Parthi

I saw your message on the CCL list and wondered if you already know about
MSI's free WebLab Viewer.  This reads molecule and crystal structures from a
range of common file formats, and can write out VRML.

You can find full details at MSI's Web site (http://www.msi.com/) - follow
the link to download WebLab Viewer, or go directly to:
http://www.msi.com/weblab/viewer/index.htm

Best wishes

Andy

I use VRML for visualization in my modelling code. That means I can
produce a VRML file for example from any protein in the PDB in either
wireframe or ball-and-stick model. Let me know if you want a few
examples...

Dear Parthiban,

please visit my collection at:

http://web.inc.bme.hu/~csonka/mke96.html

This is large summary for computational chemists, and it contains a
special link for a VRML. VRML is a potentially important tool for
chemists.

Hi,

Viseur (http://www.lctn.u-nancy.fr/viseur/viseur.html) is a program 
that can help G-Protein Coupled Receptor modelling.

The 3D molecular view can be written as an OpenInventor file and
translated (ivToVRML tool) to VRML with hyperlinked amino-acids.

Here is a very simple example:
http://www.lctn.u-nancy.fr/viseur/BACTER_RHODO.wrl.gz

We are working on an application of this VRML presentation
to GPCR 3d hyperlinked models (for annotations or link to 
mutant data: http://www-grap.fagmed.uit.no/GRAP/homepage.html).

hope it helps,

Hi, everybody,
I'm going to do research on molecular modeling of inhibitor-receptor 
interaction by H-bonding, but I have no idea where to start. Is there
anybody out there would point me to some references, possibly some
reviews ?
Thank you very much for your help.

     There are a series of books, _Reviews in Computational
       Chemistry_, by Kenny Lipkowitz.  These book contain
       general discussions of various comp chem techniques
       by experts in the field.  I think they're a good
       place to start getting general info.  Luck,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I sent this mail yesterday. But it seems something went wrong.
So I am trying again. I apologise if u receive this mail twice.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Dear Netters: 

Last week, I have posted a question seeking info on Virtual Reality for
Molecular Modelling. Thanks to all who responded. I have summarised all
the replies after giving a small note.

For the benefit of non-VR people:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The field of chemistry is one of the most interesting fields for
applications in Virtual Reality.  The traditional approach to molecular
modelling is through the use of a workstation and an interactive graphics
system. The VR approach is to immerse the scientist such that he or she
can interact directly with the graphical representation of the molecule. 

You can visit my homepage for some interesting links to VR.
(http://144.16.73.100/~parthi/vrml/index.html)
This is just few days old. You may like to visit this page again after
couple of weeks. At a later date, u can find my article on "VR for
Molecular Modelling" in this page. 

But still I am searching more info on 

*  virtual prototyping of molecular structures;  this will be helpful for
 the physically handicapped (especially blind)students to learn chemistry
and
*  providing music beats to amino acids in proteins; this will help us
 to find out the sequence of amino acids based on the rhythm...!!!!!) 
 (I would appreciate to receive any info on these two aspects.)

Thank you again for the replies and I would appreciate to receive any
other info related to this topic. Thanks in advance. :-)

Dear Parthi

I saw your message on the CCL list and wondered if you already know about
MSI's free WebLab Viewer.  This reads molecule and crystal structures from a
range of common file formats, and can write out VRML.

You can find full details at MSI's Web site (http://www.msi.com/) - follow
the link to download WebLab Viewer, or go directly to:
http://www.msi.com/weblab/viewer/index.htm

I use VRML for visualization in my modelling code. That means I can
produce a VRML file for example from any protein in the PDB in either
wireframe or ball-and-stick model. Let me know if you want a few
examples...

This is large summary for computational chemists, and it contains a

Hi,

Viseur (http://www.lctn.u-nancy.fr/viseur/viseur.html) is a program 
that can help G-Protein Coupled Receptor modelling.

The 3D molecular view can be written as an OpenInventor file and
translated (ivToVRML tool) to VRML with hyperlinked amino-acids.

Here is a very simple example:
http://www.lctn.u-nancy.fr/viseur/BACTER_RHODO.wrl.gz

We are working on an application of this VRML presentation
to GPCR 3d hyperlinked models (for annotations or link to 
mutant data: http://www-grap.fagmed.uit.no/GRAP/homepage.html).

hope it helps,

FOURTH WORKSHOP ON INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF SCANNED
PROBE MICROSCOPY

(Updates will be posted at:  http://www.nist.gov/mel/div821/iaspm4.htm)

May 6-8 1997
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg, MD

Sponsored by: NIST, SEMATECH, ASTM E-42, The American Vacuum Society*
*Nanometer-scale Science & Technology Division
=20
ORGANIZING COMMITTEE=20
John Dagata, NIST - Gaithersburg
Rich Colton, Naval Research Laboratory
Alain Diebold, SEMATECH
Ken Shih, University of Texas at Austin

PROGRAM COMMITTEE
Jason Schneir, Tencor Instruments; John Moreland, NIST-Boulder; Greg Meye=
rs,
Dow Chemical; Lori Goldner, NIST-Gaithersburg; Herschel Marchman, Texas
Instruments.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This meeting explores recent progress toward meetin=
g
standardization and development needs in scanned probe microscopy relevan=
t
to industrial applications.  Summary reports on the first two IASPM
workshops are available as NISTIR #5550 (December 1994) and NIST #5752 (
November 1995).  A report for the third workshop is in preparation.

Sessions will present industry overviews of SPM applications in
Semiconductor, Polymers & Coatings, and Magnetic Data Storage areas.
Highlights include talks on critical dimension metrology,
chemical-mechanical planarization, magnetic and optical disk tribology,
quantitative aspects of magnetic, electrical, and optical imaging modes,
progress on tip modeling, and novel developments in the use of SPMs in
biology and device fabrication.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS: Oral presentations will be short and narrowly focus=
ed.
Poster  sessions are an effective means for promoting information exchang=
e
and informal discussion among workshop participants. Everyone  attending =
the
meeting is strongly encouraged to contribute a poster  presentation on an=
y
relevant SPM or related topic. It is our  intention to schedule an hour o=
r
more during each of the session  breaks for poster viewing and informal
discussion.  Two-page extended abstracts prepared in camera-ready form fo=
r
all  invited talks and poster session presentations are due by April 4 19=
97,
for inclusion in the technical program. Text should be  arranged in a
single-column format, with at least one-inch borders  on all sides. Figur=
es
may be included. The technical program will  be distributed at the worksh=
op.
Please send extended abstracts to:  =20
