Introduction To Computational Chemistry Introduction to computational chemistry. Many universities are now offering classes, which are an overview of various aspects of computational chemistry. http://www.sci.muni.cz/~physics/CC/compchem.htm
Extractions: Auburn, AL 36849 Recent years have seen an increase in the number of people doing theoretical chemistry. Many of these newcomers are part time theoreticians, who work on other aspects of chemistry as well. This increase has been facilitated by the development of computer software which is increasingly easy to use. It is now easy enough to do computational chemistry that you do not have to know what you are doing to do a computation. As a result, many people don't understand even the most basic description of how the calculation is done and are therefore sucessufully doing a lot of work which is, frankly, garbage. Many universities are now offering classes, which are an overview of various aspects of computational chemistry. Since we have had many people wanting to start doing computations before they have had even an introductory course, this document has been written as step one in understanding what computational chemistry is about. Note that this is not intended to teach the fundamentals of chemistry, quantum mechanics or mathematics, only most basic description of how chemical computations are done. The term

Influenza - Introduction Provides information on the influenza virus and details how the drug Relenza was developed using computational chemistry. Also describes how the action of the drug prevents the flu virus replicating. http://www.omedon.co.uk/influenza
Extractions: treatment of Influenza Introduction Viruses Influenza Neuraminidase ... Conclusion Influenza causes epidemics of disease almost every winter. In the United States, these winter influenza epidemics can cause illness in 10% to 20% of people[1] and are associated with an average of 36,000 deaths and 114,000 hospitalisations per year[1]. Relenza prevents the spread of the virus to uninfected cells in the respiratory tract. It is the first in a class of compounds known as neuraminidase inhibitors, and the first anti-viral drug to be effective against all known strains of influenza A and B. Relenza was designed using computational chemistry. The 'Flu' Influenza is a particularly common virus which has probably affected us all in some way or another. Its well known symptoms; fever, cough, aching limbs, and weariness lead to the loss of over 75 million working days per year[1]. Although this debilitating disease typically lasts for around one week it can bring about complications in the form of meningitis or pneumonia. For some, especially the elderly, influenza can prove fatal. There have been three flu pandemics in the last century, the worst being 'Spanish flu' in 1918-19 which accounted for the deaths of 30-40 million people. Closer to home during the winter of 1989 it is estimated around 20,000 deaths occurred from flu in the UK. The devastating outbreak of Spanish Flu stimulated research into the origins of the disease, but it was not until 1933 that Smith, Andrews and Laidlaw discovered the viral nature of the infection[2].

Extractions: AMRI's Computer-Aided Drug Discovery Group is capable of addressing a wide range of drug discovery problems at both the small molecule and macromolecular level. These include: Current discovery applications include database mining and virtual screening projects and, in particular, the identification of synthetic compounds with activity similar to hits obtained from screening. Computational methods have been developed to capture similarities of molecules, regardless of their chemical source. These concepts are applied to search databases for molecules with biological activity similar to query compounds. Furthermore, compound partitioning techniques have successfully been used to explore "active neighborhoods" of hits obtained from screening. A major focal point is the development and application of molecular similarity concepts to identify synthetically accessible mimics of specifically active natural molecules. Computational docking techniques are employed to screen compound collections on binding sites and explore binding characteristics of hits. The information is then used, for example, to guide "hit to lead" chemistry programs. Virtual screening projects of databases consisting of a total of several hundred thousand molecules are carried out using three-dimensional structures of targets, if available, and/or hits from screening as templates. Binary QSAR methodology is applied to develop predictive models for lead identification on the basis of screening data sets.

Extractions: Dylan Thomas, "Eli Jenkins' Prayer" Longuet-Higgins' antipathy towards computers in chemistry at that time is well known, a ), could not possibly provide the same insight into atomic and molecular structure as one could derive from an orbital picture; b hence, I suspect that this initiative came from M. G. Evans. Within a few months, Longuet-Higgins left for a Chair of Theoretical Physics in London, and shortly thereafter for one in Theoretical Chemistry in Cambridge. Meanwhile, Frank Sumner, without guidance and finding his project intractable, came to me and asked if I would help; he provided me with a big fat Programmer's Manual and we got down to it together. Lacking much progress, we soon sought help from Alan Turing and Tony Brooker in the Computing Machine Laboratory and they advised us, rightly of course, to forget the contour integrals and attack the eigenvalue problem head-on. It seemed obvious at the time that we should make use of symmetry in order to reduce the sizes of the secular determinants that we wished to solve, but this led to the determinants being unsymmetric. Brooker was writing a Lanczos algorithm to reduce a matrix to its characteristic polynomial
5th Canadian Computational Chemistry Conference - Home CCCC5 is the continuation of a series of meetings held every three years intended to foster the excellence of computational chemistry in Canada. http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/symposium/cccc5/
Extractions: CCCC5 is the continuation of a series of meetings held every three years intended to foster the excellence of computational chemistry in Canada. One of the principal goals of the conference is to highlight the impact of computational chemistry in academia, industry and society. As in the previous incarnations of this meeting, a program covering major new directions in research and applications of the computational discipline has been put together, with a special emphasis on computational chemistry applied to biophysics and material science. For this purpose, we have prepared a program of speakers actively involved in developing new methods and applications of high performance computing in chemistry and related areas. The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Toronto, with inexpensive rooms available in nearby hotels at special rates. Toronto is an exciting, diverse city with many attractions, ranging from excellent museums to fine dining. Since Toronto is the largest urban centre in Canada, travel to and from the city is easy and relatively inexpensive. The costs of the meeting are modest (all figures in Canadian dollars):
