MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.1 X-Originating-IP: 130.179.49.38 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=7.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.61 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on servernd.ccl.net Dear CCL, a colleague of mine approached me recently and asked for general literature on moldelling of biomolecules. The book or articles should be very general because he is a computer scientist, and has, as far as I can tell, not much of a background in chemistry, let alone computational chemistry. Apparently, he wants to write his own codes > from a computer-science point of view. (Whether or not this is a good idea in itself is a different question -- I have my doubts.) In any case, I promised help, and I would appreciate recommendations for appropriate books or other ressources -- this is my question to the list Please reply to me directly because I am not currently subscribed to the list. I promise that I will post a summary! Thank you very much! Georg Schreckenbach -- Dr. H.
