You could try to derive the van der Waals radii from any of the forcefields
used in molecular dynamics calculations of proteins, as for example CHARMM,
AMBER, DISCOVER. All of them have parameters for the Lennard Jones Potential
and these can be converted to atomic radii by a simple transformation.

Sincerely yours,
S. Gryzbek

Hi,

try to display the surfaces both of the protein AND the ligand.
Then UNDISPLAY the surface of the ligand. I think, you then get the picture
(information) you want.
Hope this helps.

Re_View3, a Windows program, has the ability to visualize the results 
obtained using G94 cube calculations. Although Re_View3 is still being 
developed this functionality has already be built in. If your interested in 
finding out more information about 
Re_View3 see http://www.brunel.ac.uk/depts/chem/ch241s/re_view/re_view3.htm

We have just put up a WWW explaining cube calculations as well see:
http://www.brunel.ac.uk/depts/chem/g94_cube.htm

Please contact me for more information on how to obtain Re_View3.

Heats of vaporization:

Dr. Shapiro,

Whenever I am forced to use VDW radii, I use Huheey's Inorganic Chemistry
textbook, which has lots of tables for this kind of thing.  The latest
edition (3rd?) is quite recent.

Dr. Shapiro,

I don't have an exact reference, but look up the name Thomas Steiner,
especially in the author indices for Chemical Communications.  He has done
some work with hydrogen bonding and acetylenes.  Also see the book
"Hydrogen Bonding in Biological Structures" by G.A. Jeffrey and W.
Saenger; Springer-Verlag 1991 for more references.

1. This is not a SCF calculation, it is at BLYP (DFT) level.

MOZYME is a semiempirical molecular orbital program written by James
J.P. Stewart and marketed through Fujitsu. It uses localized molecular
orbitals to overcome the N^3 diagonalization bottleneck of conventional
programs like MOPAC. It is aimed at small proteins and enzymes of up
to about 20,000 atoms.

You can get further information about MOZYME at the following URL:

Hi!
Could someone tell me on how binding energies are corrected for
grid superposition errors (different from bsse) in dft calculations?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: modeling surfactants
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


I have a number of general questions about modeling of surfactants and
chemical species composed of surfactants.

What force fields are best for this type of modeling?  Which have been
validated against experimental results?

What types of information is one generally after in doing, for example, an
MD simulation of one or more surfactants?

Are there any recent and useful review articles on this topic?

Please feel free to respond either to CCL or directly to me.  I prefer the
former, as it always tends to generate useful and often fruitful discussions.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr. Shapiro,

We did AM1 calculations on X-Ph-C#C-H...OH2:

A.Masunov, J.J. Dannenberg, J.Mol.Structure 371 (1996) 17-19

Ab initio calculations on water and NR3 are in progress. 
If you have specific system or experimental results in mind,
please let me know.
There was also a poster on HCCH...O=C<  in Atlanta this month. Contact

Boris Galabov <galabov@chem-gw.chem.uni-sofia.bg>

For exp. results on HCCH...NH3,OH2 see
JCP 1984, 80, 1423
JCP 1984, 81, 3847

Hope this helps,
Artem

Our lab and others have published simulations of lipid bilayers and
monolayers; there are also publications on micelle systems.

Lipids have been simulated with AMBER, CHARMM and GROMOS force fields, and
give similar results in terms of general agreement with experimental data,
such as the lattice D spacing for multilayers.  Other properties have also
been studied, such as carbon-deuterium order parameters (measured via
NMR), but the relaxation times for some parts of the lipid molecules (e.g.
the headgroup) is so slow that the MD timescale doesn't produce
statistically significant sampling.

Authors to search for (independently):

Pastor, RW
Klein, ML
Tobias, D
Berendsen, HJC
Merz, K

I think most of the above have published reviews in the past few years.

  Hi,

  Terry Stouch and associates at Bristol-Myers Squibb have also published
extensively on the modeling of phospholipid monolayers and bilayers.  The
work was done using DISCOVER, and its associated CVFF forcefield.
Quantities that have been calculated, and shown good agreement with
experiment are: Electron density, bilayer thickness, fraction of gauche
conformers in the lipid hydrcarbon chains, and hydrocarbon chain order
parameters (these are obtainable from nanosecond simulations).  The diffusion
of small nonpolar solutes and drug analogs in phospholipid membranes has also
been studied, and experimental results for both the diffusion coefficients
and their variation with position (of the solute) in the membrane have been
reproduced; the mechanism of solute diffusion through membranes has also
been elucidated.

  Some references are:

Hi, there,
Is there anybody out there would please tell me how to get the first
ionization energy from the Gaussian result? Is it half of the HOMO
energy?
Thank you
