Subject: Deleting files

Dear all,
I need a program for Unix environment that would automatically delete all
files in certain directories that are older then, i.e. last used longer then
some time ago (for example 1 month). 
Does anybody have such a program available either as an UNIX shell program
or in any other way.
Thanks very much for your help,
Mira

| Hello Chemistry,
:
.

Could  anybody  help me? I need two articles, but I couldn't find them
in  our library. Could anybody scan them and send to me? (Please, send
big  attaches,  more  than 200Kb to mmpsf@cni.md). If so, here are the
references:

*  P.Pulay,  G.  Fogarosi,  J.E.Boggs  J.Am.Chem.Soc.,  101, 2550-2560
(1979)
*  G.  Fogarosi,  X.Zhou,  P.W.Taylor,  P.Pulay  J.Am.Chem.Soc.,  114,
8191-8201 (1992)

This  two  articles describes "natural internal coordinates" and their
application  for ring systems. If anybody could provide me link to the
Internet resource, I will be thankful.

Best regards,
 Mike                          mailto:MikePeleah@mail.ru

Dear CCL,

My contract has come to an end and for now I won't be working in the field
of Molecular Modelling. Maybe in the future.

I want to thank you for all the informative e-mails.

So, please take me out of the CCL-list.

Dear Steve,

I had this problem also, and there is no cure using G94 or G98.  Jerzy
Cioslowski was kind enough to look at one of my output files, and he told
me that the topology of the electron density in the metal sandwich
compounds I was modeling was beyond the current capability of the AIM
code. The PROMEGA algorithm contained in the AIMPAC package distributed by
Bader (http://www.chemistry.mcmaster.ca/aimpac/) worked in my cases, but
it only treats one atom at a time, and is very slow. 

Best wishes,

Dale

Subject: Dock woes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have posted before but I don't know if my message got out (or if this
was considered appropriate for the list)

I am currently using UCSF Dock 4.0 and have been having a nunmber of
problems lately...
I am testing with an internal cavity in a protien, and seems to me that
the scoring method that gives the best indication of ligand fit is the
contact score.  The chemical screening/matching stuff just doesn't seem
to work...any comments on this?

Another thing, when I leave dock to run overnight, I come back in the
morning to see it running unusably slow on my octane because it's
chattering way too much to virtual memory.  Is it not freeing unused
memory or something?  Any tips for using it on a  ~100k compund
database?

Many Thanks,
Maneesh Yadav

                              San Francisco, CA

Rapidly evolving progress in computer hardware and software has promoted the
application of sophisticated chemical models to complex environmental
problems. This symposium will showcase the application of computational
methods, including molecular modeling of pollutant properties and reactions,
kinetic simulations of complex reactions, and aqueous equilibrium modeling.
Oral presentations will emphasize A) novel algorithms and models which could
be applied to environmental problems, B) models and algorithms first applied
to environmental problems in the last five years and C) prospective
environmental applications for which only preliminary results are available. 

Short abstracts (required by ACS) and extended abstracts no longer than 4
pages (required by the Division of Environmental Chemistry, see divisional
web page http://gemini.tntech.edu/~mjw5030/acspage.html) must be submitted

CCLers...

This may not be news to many of you, but in regards to a recent posting
about atomic charges for large systems...

Mopac_2000 can now do a 1SCF on a 4150 atom system on a PII-400/NT
machine in less than 1 hour... answer is the same as by MOPAC6, if it
could be done.

The 4150 atom can be done using MPI on a 16 processor SGI-O2K in
7(seven) minutes.

A 7,000 atom and a 11,000 atom system is being used for debugging, with
a 17,000 atom case standing by.

Dear All,

Has anyone checked the implementation of the MMFF94 force field in both
Sybyl and Cerius2?

My concern follows some contrasting results observed when a client and
myself both modelled the same compound in the cis and trans forms (about a
butadiene moiety in the structure).  The difference in conformational
energies obtained from the two packages was staggering!

Although both companies claim to have incorporated the force field into
their MM engines, they do not produce comparable results; both in terms of
energy differences and of the predicted lowest energy conformation.

One test I ran on Sybyl came from the Gundertofte MM comparison paper
(Gundertofte K, et al, J. Comp. Chem., vol.17, no.4, 429-449 (1996)) and
looked at the cis and trans forms of butadiene.  The energy difference
between these two forms agreed with the literature result within 0.1 kcal.
I'm awaiting the clients test on the same system.

If anyone has **independently** examined the force field in these packages,
I'd be very keen to hear if the results were comparable.

Many thanks

Adrian.
