Hi,
    can someone enlighten me as to the extent of use of genetic algorithms
    in problem solving in chemistry. I have heard people use it for 
    protein docking simulations, energy minimization calculations etc
    but since none of them make their code available its difficult to
    verify it. Since a vast majority of problem solving in chemistry using
    computers involves search , i feel that genetic algorithms would fit
    in nicely in such a application. 


							with regards,

Dear DOCK4 Users,

I'm a new user of DOCK4.

By using it, I found that the program qcpe_ms is indispensable for the
molecular surface calculation. And a molecular surface file is needed when
running the sphgen.

But qcpe_ms is not distributed with DOCK4. At least, I can not find it in
the version which I got.

And it is rather expensive to obtain the MS from QCPE.

Now, will you please tell me, whether it is possible to get qcpe_ms
freely, which is needed by the DOCK4 (in shell script autoMS). If
possible, where and how could I got it? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have a nice day!!!


                                Yours Sincerely

Hi !
You may want to check out Autodock from Art Olson's group
(www.scripps.edu then to research than to Art Olson than to Autodock),
which uses GA's for searching conformation space; source is also
available.  THere really isn't much to look at except to know that the
gene that they are using is a quaterinion and I'm not sure of what the
mutation/crossover metrics are.

Best of Luck
MAneesh

Hello,

I posted this question some time ago. By that time my mail server was down. So
here it goes again.

Could anybody please tell me how to COMPILE and RUN  CHARMM c26b1 in
a dual 266 Mhz PII with RH 6.0 and LAM-MPI (lam-6.3-b2-usysv)?

Thanks in advance,
                             Marcos

Subject: receptor flexibility in CADD
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Hello All,

We all know that it is a limitation to use a single protein structure 
to represent a target site on a protein.  However, many of us still use
that approach as there is no accepted way of accommodating the inherent
flexibility of an active site in computer aided drug design.  There are
many means of accommodating ligand flexibility... I am interested in
receptor flexibility.

I've recently developed a method for superimposing multiple protein 
conformations to represent the inherent flexibility of a receptor when
developing a complementary pharmacophore model (an ASAP article is
available through J Phys Chem A: Carlson, Masukawa, McCammon).  The 
only other work I have found that is at all similar is a ligand docking
study by Knegtel, Kuntz, and Oshiro (J Mol Biol 1997, 266, 424-440)
which introduces weighting methods either for the interaction energy 
between a ligand and the receptor or in the description the geometry of
the site.

Does anyone know of methods for accommodating an ensemble of protein 
conformations?  Has anyone tried a similar idea without success or know
of particularly interesting cases where the lack of protein flexibility 
leads to incorrect predictions?

Thank you, 
Heather

Hi CCL-ers,
can somebody explain me how can I get covalent bond order 
from Gaussian?
I've tried for two jobs that I want compare AIM=BondOrder.
In one case I've got:
THE MOLECULAR GRAPH IS DISCONNECTED ... ABORTING!
in other:
NEWTON STEP FAILED FOR SURFACE SHEET   1.

The molecule are enough big that I don't want to calculate
it per hand useing Density Matrix.
