Dear netters,

We know GOLPE is a very useful procedure for optimizing PLS analysis. Our 
question is: How and where can we get a copy of GOLPE? Any clue will be 
surely appreciated.

Best wishes,

Arthur

Yes, there is. Please have a look at
http://www2.organik.uni-erlangen.de/services/gif.html

The underlying program can both input SMILES and SD, and output
as SD (plus a whole bunch of other formats). Stereochemistry
is fully supported.

Feel free to send me a sample for conversion.

Well, thanks to those who replied, but I'm afraid the news isn't that good;

Yes, holograms can be produced from 3-d file formats (pdb, xyz, povray
scenes) but the mastering is expensive.  One commercial service I contacted
wanted 1000 USD for a master (10x20 cm) but after that it was about 20
cents per produced image.  It will probably be cheaper if there is someone
in your college who makes holograms (perhaps for medical imaging)

Another option suggested was to use autostereograms (the 'dot' pictures)
but  guess that doesn't work for everybody - although it's more or less free.

Hi all,

I have couple questions regarding drug design:

1. (I posted this one before, but due to mail problems, I'm not sure it
    was in the list). I'm looking for some information about drug design
   for undergraduets. I refer to some kind of simple exercises that show
   basic techniques in this field. Any information, like books, papers,
   WWW pages or personal experience will be greatly apreciated.

2. This question is related with my PhD project in de novo desig. I want
   to buy some software, or get some free one, to begin with, so I'll
   apreciate so much personal experiences with this kind of program, which
   are more friendly to work with, which are available, which one I should
   avoid...

Thank you very much in advance.

Antonio Morreale.  morreale@chem.iupui.edu

ChemOffice Ultra for Windows will do this.  We ran the public NCI SD file 
(127,000 compounds with connectivity but no coordinates) overnight.  No
particular problems, except for some highly-bridged polycycles which aren't
going to look particularly good in two dimensions without lots of subjective
human attention.

ChemOffice Ultra will do this as well.

Frid, 1997 Oct 17

>From E. Lewars
To:  CCL
Subj: Extended Huckel Method

Thanks to all who responded to my question (below) about the extended Hueckel
method as popularized by Roald Hoffmann.  The answers (below) all agree that
the overlap matrix is calculated and used to obtain an orthogonalizing matrix--
i.e the S matrix is  _not_ taken as a unit matrix.

 Two points may not be generally realized:
(1)  Because the overlap _integrals_ S are used to calculate the Fock matrix
elements (1/2KS(I + I')), it does _not_ follow that the overlap _matrix_  must
be used, and in fact
(2)  There _is_ an extended Hueckel-type method that simply sets the overlap
matrix equal to the unit matrix:

 S. L. Dixon and P. C. Jurs, "Fast geometry optimization using a modified
extended Hueckel method...",  J. Comp Chem 15 (7), 733-746 (1994).

 With several modifications to the Fock elements it is said to match or
surpass AM1 geometries.

        Thanks again,

         E. Lewars

Hello,

Regarding the extended Hueckel method as implemented by Roald Hoffmann:
I know that the overlap integrals are calculated and used to construct
the Fock matrix elements (which are proportional to these integrals in
the EHM).   My question is:
in Hoffmann's implementation are the overlap integrals used to calculate an
orthogonalizing matrix to convert (e.g. by Loewdin orthogonalization) the
matrix equation
                    FC = SCe
into standard eigenvalue form
                    F'C' = C'e   i.e   F' = C'eC'^-1

as in ab initio calculations,
        OR  is it simply pretended, as in simple Hueckel theory, that
                    S=I  ?

   I read Hoffmann's 1963 paper in J Chem Phys, but this point does not
seem to be explicity made clear.  Maybe I missed it.

        Thanks

Hi there,

well S is real and symmetric, hence it can be diagonalised.
Its eigenvalues are usually <>0, so S^-1 exists. Thus,
    HC = SCe
is multiplied to the left by S^-1
   S^-1H C = Ce
voila.

Hi,
MY experience with Hoffman's ICON program (QCPE) is that the S matrix
is indeed computed.
In fact, the H matrix is  computed as :

H_ij = K/2 S_ij * (H_ii + H_jj)

and then solve for HC = SHe
as you said.

Icon takes care of orbital type (s, p) and distances to compute the S matrix.

Yes, Hoffmann's EH method uses explicit Lowdin orthogonalization; I 
remember working through a copy of his computer code as a graduate 
student in 1964!

As for his 1963 JCP paper, he does say (p.1399) that "the complete set of 
Eq.(2) [the secular equations] is solved with _two_ matrix diagonalizations."
If S = 1 were assumed, only one diagonalization would be required.

Dear Dr. Lewars,

The overlap matrix is calculated explicitely. It has to, otherwise it 
would be just Huckel and not Extended Huckel, as you pointed out yourself.

All EHM programs solve FC = SCe exactly. The best way is to use the Choleski
decoimposition, I believe.

Cheers, Brian.

Hello netters,

I am trying to do MM calculations for interactions between a protein and 
a surface. I would like to construct different atomic level models for the
surface and "dock" a protein to them. Could anyone point me to a reference
in a literature or existing software that could handle such a relatively
big system (~40000 atoms) and estimate the "most favorable" position of a
protein on atomic surfaces. I am quite new to this area of surface
simulations, so any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,

Dmitri Mikhailov
