I'll address this in two parts
    1) Code to measure ring conformation parameters.
    2) Software to manipulate ring conformations interactively.

1) For six membered rings our Unix/X11 code called mdXvu is available from
the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange (QCPE) and one of its
features is the measurement of the Cremer Pople ring puckering
parameters.

2) The Biopolymer module of insightII (from MSI) has a nice tool
for 'ring flapping' i.e. selecting two atoms in a ring and pivoting the
intermediate ring atoms about the selected pair while maintaining the
bond lengths and angles. This works for 5,6,7.... membered rings.

Hope this helps.

Dear CCL'ers,

	one week ago I posted a question concerning the estimation of
binding constans:

I got one answer:

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I'm one of the NAMD2 developers.  That error message, which I admit isn't
terribly helpful, arises from a (generous but unnecessary) hard limit in
the code.  This line should shed some light on the situation:

Info: PATCH GRID IS 69 (PERIODIC) BY 69 (PERIODIC) BY 69 (PERIODIC)

Your 1000 atom system is occupying a cell which is 69 *patches* in each
dimension.  For any reasonable cutoff a patch is at least 10 A, which
means your cell is 700 A on a side.  I would suggest either not using
periodic boundaries or using a smaller cell.  In any case, NAMD's spatial
decomposition scheme is not efficient for sparse (gas-phase) problems.
This simulation appears to be a small molecule in some atomic solvent.

If this is really what you want, you will see much better performance if
you adjust the patch size to about 1/5 or 1/10 of your cell size using the
margin parameter.  As I said, NAMD is targetted at large liquid phase
simulations so your performance on this small gas will be quite poor.

-Jim

Subject: Fracton dimeension of  "menger Sponge " surface


Hi, Dear friends

For homo-bimolecular reactions over fractal substrates
        A + A --- products
according to the proposal by Kopelman et al. the reaction 
order should be 
        X = 1 + 2/Ds
where Ds is the fracton dimension. 

I would like to know the Ds value of the surface of the
three-dimensional "Menger Sponge", could you tell me ?

Best Regards
