Hi all,
 
> I'm wondering if anyone knows the definition of the van Hove function. 

The van Hove correlation function is defined as:

                   N   N
           1   /  --- ---   /                                      \
G(r, t) = --- <   >   >     |(delta(r'+r-r(i,t))*delta(r-r(j,0))dr' >
           N   \  --- ---  /                                       /
                  i=1 j=1

where delta is Dirac's delta function and the bracket is the (ensemble)
average.

Dear Dr. Bear,

Reddy et al evaluated a large set of related analogs using 
computer-assisted drug design methods that combine molecular mechanics, 
dynamics, FEP calculations, inhibitor design, synthesis, biochemical 
testing, and crystallographic structure determination of the 
protein-inhibitor complexes.  The calculated relative binding free 
energies were successfully incorporated into the design of novel HIV1 
protese inhibitors.  This study involved a large set of molecules whose 
relative binding affinities were predicted using FEP method prior to 
synthesis, and were later confirmed by experimental measurements. 

Reddy et al. J. Med. Chem. 37 (1994), 1145-1152

Subject: Database for Molecular Binding and Recognition



Dear Colleagues,

We are interested in creating a publicly accessible database
containing information on noncovalent binding affinities, with an
emphasis on biomolecules. Such a database could be useful in a range
of applications, including drug-discovery and the development of
computational models for predicting affinities. We hope to establish a
stable, expanding resource that will be helpful to many scientists
over a period of years.

This is a complex and somewhat ill-defined task, however. It is
necessary to define the scope of the data to be included, to implement
the database effectively, and to establish mechanisms for filling and
maintaining it.  Before taking these steps, we would like to learn of
any similar efforts in the scientific community in order to avoid
duplication of effort. We also would like to consult with people
interested in using the database, whether as depositors or users of
the data. Finally, we would like to be sure that the utility of this
database will justify the effort of creating it. This message, then,
is to solicit your advice and suggestions on these topics.

In order to permit a general exchange of views, we have established a
web-site that will allow comments and subsequent discussion to be
posted publicly. The URL is http://db3.sdsc.edu/DbNcB/.  We would very
much appreciate your participation. 

With best regards,

Dear netters,

Sometime ago I posted a query about references for the SC-IPCM method.
Here is the summary of the replies I got - thanks to all who replied.

It appears that currently there is no paper describing the SC-IPCM
method exactly, altough the references for the IPCM method reveal
most of the practical information.

Regards,


Jussi Eloranta

My original posting:

Does anyone know references for the SCI-PCM solvent model as implemented
in Gaussian 94? The Gaussian manual gives four references which all are
under preparation and I was not able to find out if these have been published
now. "Exploring Chemistry with Electronic Structure Methods (2nd ed.)" also
points to one of these unpublished articles. Also a pointer to good review
article on the solvent models would be very helpful.

similar to the "IPCM" method which has has a couple of published
references.(i don't have them handy but can get them if necessary -
they should be easy enough to locate).  Just out of interest i think there is
a paper coming out in the Aug. 15th edition of J.Chem.Phys. from the
lab of J. Tomasi which sets out a new definition of teh cavity surface
in the PCM model ( i think that it will be more akin to a connolley
type surface with concave parts.)

I performed a literature search about SCIPCM about two weeks ago but
it appears that the publication is still in preparation. The situation is
rather strange because people are working with the model but no one can
look at the method more closely. People tend to use the Gaussian manual
or the "exploring chemistry with electronic structure methods" as a
reference for the method.

Very nice discussion of the Van Hove Function can be found in the
book by J.Higgins and Benoit "Neutron Scattering from Polymers" (Title may
not be very accurate, but it sounds like that)

If I am not mistaken Allen & Tildesley's "Computer Simulation
of Liquids" has it too

Hope it helps
