Subject: Drug-like inactive molecules
Mime-Version: 1.0

Dear Roger,

from my point of view, the "most drug-like" inactive molecules should be the
molecules listed in the WDI or in similar drug collections. There should be at
least one or several biological target/s for every member at which the
respective "drug" is inactive.
Another good source might be the literature. There are thousands of publications
where active, less active and even inactive analogs are listed with their
quantitative data. So what?

Best regards

Hugo

Hi alltogether,
does anybody have gained experience with the Jaguar and/or Titan

Do they calculate molecular geometries and frequencies substantially

Any reply will be helpful.

Subject: GRASP/DELPHI format

Dear all,

we are interested in a routine to generate GRASP files from a previously
calculated property at a grid of points. We have seen in the GRASP web page
that the possible file to do this will have the format of a DelPhi
binary potential map file. This can be found in

http://honiglab.cpmc.columbia.edu/grasp/grasp_contents.html#read

However, we have problems in understanding the meaning of some of the variables.
Has anybody created such a routine?

Dear Dr Winkler


I have noted your comments with interest. I am very curious about your

suggestion that Bayesian NN QSAR methods don't (may not) require 

validation; that crossvalidation (CV) may not be needed I can understand 

but NO validation at all? How do you know that your model has any value 

without some external criterion? Or have I missed something here?


I have some more questions/comments:-


<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> There are a whole raft of problems which arise with cross-validation and testing, 

</italic></color>Agree.


<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>>  for example: 

> 

> 1.  What is the best way to chose a validation set (or test for that matter) is 

> leave-one-out, leave-N-out etc? 

As far as I know one doesn't use CV (LOO/LNO) to choose validation/test sets. 

</italic></color>What do you mean here? The only thing I can think of is that CV can be used 
to help identify training set outliers.


> 2.  Should clustering be used to choose a representative test set and , if so, 

<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> what kind of clustering algorithm and do you cluster on X, Y or X/Y? 

</italic></color>Are you using the term "clustering" here to cover PCA/PLS score-based

experimental design as well as what is more usually called clustering?


<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> 3.  Effort involved in the cross validation process scales as the square of the 

> number of compounds and the square of the number of independent variables, 

> which has important implications for large data sets (eg combichem/HTS data) 

</italic></color>With the SAMPLS algorithm fitted/CV PLS run-times are independent of the 
number of independent variables (P). (There will be some overhead for 
calculating the inter-compound covariance matrix). SAMPLS should be used 
where P>>M (M=No. of compounds). PLS with large numbers of compounds 
will always be a problem; one's definition of "large" will obviously change as 
more computational power becomes available ...


<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> 4.  Once a cross validation process has been completed, there are N QSAR 

> models, all slightly different.  Which is the 'best' or 'true' model? 

</italic></color>What do you mean N models? With PLS, CV is used to establish the number of

PLS latent variables (LV) to use in a final all-observations-included analysis the

regression coefficients from which predictions can be made. Or is your

"N" an LV indicator?


I look forward to hearing your comments

I want to do some calculations on the transition metal compounds(in solid
state) using DFT scheme. I am troubled by the selection of the density
functional and basis sets. If you have any idea, would you please let me
share your experience.

Thank you in advance.
