The story of the unlikely friendship between the two physicists who fundamentally recast the notion of time and historyIn 1939, Richard Feynman, a brilliant graduate of MIT, arrived in John Wheeler's Princeton office to report for duty as his teaching assistant. A lifelong friendship and enormously. The Quantum Labyrinth: How Richard Feynman and John Wheeler Revolutionized Time and Reality, published by Basic Books, tells the story of how the two eminent physicists engaged in a lifelong exchange of ideas, resulting in many of the innovations of late 20th century physics. While outwardly they seemed very different, they shared a deep bond. SYBYL-X requires Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) they are already working on Lion support and aim to have it ready when the next Mac OS X update is released. For 3D graphics you might be better having a NVidia graphics card, ATI/AMD work as well, but there are currently some minor driver based issues. So rather than having Hardware 3D on.

QUACPAC:- pKa and tautomer enumeration

QUACPAC provides pKa and tautomer enumeration in order to get correct protonation states. It also offers multiple partial charge models (including MMFF94 [1], AM1-BCC [2], and AMBER [3]) that cover a range of speed and quality in order to allow appropriate charging for every end use.QUACPAC's approach to tautomeric enumeration is to provide multiple tautomeric states rather than one 'correct' tautomer. Subsequent downstream processes are then used to identify the appropriate tautomeric form.

RegExRX:- A complete regular expression development tool

I don’t use regular expressions often enough to become an expert but I do use them often enough to know how valuable they are. I always seem to spend more time than I’d like sorting out the regular expression and I often feel that I’ve done something similar before.

I came across an application that I think will make my life a lots easier, RegExRX is a regular expression development tool.

A complete regular expression development tool meant for novices and professionals alike, this editor has many features designed to help in the development and storage of regular expressions.

ome features include:

  • Search and Replace modes.
  • Color-coded tokens in both the 'search' and 'replace' patterns.
  • Live matching against source text. Live replace too, where applicable.
  • Insert menus with almost every acceptable token and a description of what they do, including constructs for various groupings, conditionals, lookarounds, and POSIX expressions.
  • A 'Match List' that shows all matches, with subexpressions and group names, and represents invisible characters like a space or return with their token equivalents ('s' or 'r').
  • A Templates menu for oft-used patterns. Save As Template from the File menu, or download free samples from our website directly into the Templates folder.
  • Export the Match List to a text file, Excel, or FileMaker Pro XML.
  • Save the Replaced Text to a text file.
  • Stats on both the source text and replaced text so you can tell exactly where you are and what characters are represented at all times. Helps avoid errors caused by invisible characters.
  • Linked scrolling among the source text, the replaced text and the Match List.
  • Support for Unicode tokens, verbs, and subroutines.
  • Save regular expressions in documents for reuse.

I’ve added it to the spectroscopy page.

ROCS :- Molecular shape comparison

ROCS is a shape comparison program, based on the idea that molecules have similar shape if their volumes overlay well and any volume mismatch is a measure of dissimilarity. ROCS uses a smooth Gaussian function to represent the molecular volume, so it is possible to routinely minimize to the best global match. ROCS is capable of processing 600-800 comparisons each second, making it is possible to search multi-conformer representations of corporate collections in a day on a single processor to find compounds with similar shape to a lead compound.

SDF2XYZ2SDF:- Cheminformatics link to TINKER

sdf2xyz2sdf is an open-source software aimed at converting SDF files into TINKER XYZ files (and viceversa) while performing automatic assignment of MMFF94 atom types, bond types and charges.
The sdf2xyz2sdf package consists of two programs:

sdf2xyz2sdf depends on OpenBabel for MMFF atom type and charge assignment. Since input to sdf2tinkerxyz is entered through standard input, and output from tinkerxyz2sdf is printed on standard output, it is possible to pipe output from OpenBabel into sdf2tinkerxyz, or to pipe tinkerxyz2sdf output into OpenBabel, so that virtually any format conversion from/to TINKER XYZ may be accomplished.
Interestingly, also ionic heteroaromatic rings which could not be assigned proper charges by the original TINKER-MMFF code are correctly accounted for by sdf2xyz2sdf.

smi23D:- Convert SMILES to 3D structures

The quantum labyrinth mac os 11
smi23d consists of two programs that can be used to convert one or more SMILES strings to 3D. The first step uses a program called smisdf which generates a set of rough 3D coordinates using an iterative refinement procedure. These coordinates are then optimized with a MMFF94 force field by mengine to generate a reasonable 3D structure. In addition to generating an optimized structure, the code can optinally calculate some molecular properties such as XlogP, dipole moment and vibrational properties. By default these are not calculated. The resultant coordinates are written in SD format.
The source code for the programs can be obtained from the CICC-Grid Sourceforge SVN repository and binary builds are available for Intel Mac OS X.

  • Small molecule and macromolecule modelling
  • 3D QSAR: use the power of industry leading CoMFA in a new way to generate novel ideas for R-groups — predict the level of biological activity or potency based on structure-activity data, not just yes/no activity predictions
  • Ligand-based virtual screening: search millions of compounds overnight — don’t miss hits because you only screened subsetted portions of your database
  • Cheminformatics: produce highly focused queries that avoid false positives using rich set of 3D queries; on-the- fly conformational searching means you only store a single conformation of your molecules, keeping database size small and very transportable
  • Docking: custom tailor and fine-tune docking to a particular receptor site using information like SAR or known poses to improve rank ordering of ligands
SYBYL-X requires Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) they are already working on Lion support and aim to have it ready when the next Mac OS X update is released. For 3D graphics you might be better having a NVidia graphics card, ATI/AMD work as well, but there are currently some minor driver based issues. So rather than having Hardware 3D on by default for ATI based cards, on detection, hardware stereo will be disabled only for ATI based chipsets. You can however override this using a commandline switch. They also provide KNIME nodes for those who would like to include it in workflows. There are a number of licensing options and they are aware that users with multi-core machines would want to be able to take advantage of all cores.

SZYBKI:- optimizes molecular structures with the Merck Molecular Force Field

SZYBKI optimizes molecular structures with the Merck Molecular Force Field, either with or without solvent effect, to yield quality 3D molecular structures for use as input to other programs. Since the chemistry of molecular interactions is a matter of shape and electrostatics, it is impossible to consider either without reasonable 3D molecular structures.SZYBKI also refines portions of a protein structure and optimize ligands within a protein active site, making it useful in conjunction with docking programs.

SZMAP:- Water mapping in protein

SZMAP uses semi-continuum Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics to map variations in solvent properties in a protein binding site. It identifies key waters, shows their interactions, compares them to the corresponding ligand atoms, and determines whether neighboring waters aid or hinder binding. The newly released tool GAMEPLAN, suggests ways to modify ligand chemistry based on this understanding of water structure in the immediate environment of the ligand.
