Gagne, David C. Doherty, Douglas A. Smith, Hubert Bodot. TOPICS: New developments in the quantitative computational modeling of molecular structure, molecular dynamics, energies (thermodynamics) including solvent effects, polymers, including biopolymers, inorganic systems. It is expected that the studies will reflect new approaches in the use of molecular mechanics or molecular dynamics rather than applications of well-developed techniques. Developments in the use of ab initio calculations in modeling are appropriate. PROGRAM: Monday evening: Reception.

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is offering a five-day workshop on "Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis," May 29-June 3, 1994. It is funded by a grant from the National Center for Human Genome Research of the National Institutes of Health. The workshop will familiarize biomedical researchers with computational methods and provide practice in applying supercomputing resources to problems of concern in macromolecular sequence analysis. Emphasis will be on alignment of and pattern extraction from multiple sequences. Participants will gain practical experience on PSC's Cray C-90 and T3D in (1) comparing and aligning sequences, (2) identifying informative patterns in a set of sequences, and (3) using extracted informative patterns to identify related sequences. Researchers will also learn several approaches to database searching and multiple sequence alignment, how to use profile analysis effectively, and how to identify patterns in their sequences. Participants are encouraged to bring sequence analysis problems from their current research. Extensive documentation will be given at the outset on the VAX/VMS and UNICOS operating systems as well as on the specific programs to be employed in the workshop. No prior supercomputing experience is required. Workshop leaders are Dr. Gary Churchill, Cornell University, and Dr. Michael Gribskov, San Diego Supercomputing Center. A limited number of grants to cover travel and hotel accommodations are available for U.S. academic participants. ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY A $135 REGISTRATION FEE UPON ACCEPTANCE INTO THE WORKSHOP. The deadline for submitting applications is March 31, 1994. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants. An application form is below. Grants of supercomputing time to allow biomedical researchers to explore the appropriateness of supercomputing for their computational problems are available through a program funded by the Biomedical Research Technology Program, National Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health. * * * * * PITTSBURGH SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN SEQUENCE ANALYSIS WORKSHOP FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS May 29-June 3, 1994 APPLICATION Name: ________________________________________________________________ Affiliation: ________________________________________________________________ Address: ________________________________________________________________ (Business) ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ (Home) ________________________________________________________________ Telephone: ____________________________ ______________________________ (Business) (Home) *Social Security Number: _______-_____-_______ Citizenship:___________________ Electronic Mail Address:_______________________________________________________ Status: ___Graduate ___Post-doctoral Fellow ___Faculty ___Other (specify) In order to attend the workshop, will you need funds for travel?___ lodging?___ Please indicate specifically any special housing, transportation or dietary arrangements you will need: __________________________________________ How did you learn about this workshop:_________________________________________ REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must submit a completed application form and a cover letter.

Wroclaw is connected by direct flights with Warsaw, Frankfurt and Dsseldorf as well as by train and bus transportation with other major European cities. About the conference Previous conferences COMPUTERS IN CHEMISTRY were held in Wroclaw in 1986 and 1988. The conference in 1994 will cover all aspects of computer applications in chemistry and related sciences focusing on review of recent software and hardware developments in this rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field as well as teaching computational chemistry. Student presentations are encouraged. Commercial hardware and software presentations are being planned too. Proceedings : Abstracts of all contributions will be printed in conference materials. Original scientific contributions will be published in special issue of international journal COMPUTERS & CHEMISTRY. The manuscripts should be submitted during first day of the conference at the registration desk. The manuscripts will follow the regular editorial and refereeing procedure. COMPUTERS & CHEMISTRY publishes papers on theoretical and experimental research representing developments in the application of information sciences, particularly computers and computational methods, to diverse problems addressed in all branches of chemistry. Besides research papers also application/software notes or software reviews are acceptable for publication in COMPUTERS & CHEMISTRY ****************************************************************** WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR LARGE MOLECULAR SYSTEMS Wroclaw, June 25-26, 1994 part of the 3-rd conference "COMPUTERS IN CHEMISTRY" and Satellite Symposium of 8th International Congress of Quantum Chemistry (possible microbus transportation from Prague to Wroclaw on June 24, 1994) This workshop organized in collaboration with National Institute of Standards and Technology and Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology in Gaithersburg, MD, USA is devoted to review recent progress in development of quantum chemical methods for modelling large molecular systems. Many chemical processes important for biotechnology or materials science can not be modelled now at molecular level due to the extensive size of molecular systems involved or unsufficient precision of contemporary computational methods. Therefore development of new methods and techniques extending existing boundaries for modeling may open new avenues for rational design of new biocatalysts and new materials with desired properties. Bringing together several leading scientists having important contributions in this field should open the possibility to initiate or expand ongoing collaborations, create future joint projects including academic and commercial sector and introduce graduate students into this rapidly growing field. Planned lectures will cover among others following topics: model potentials and reaction fields, applications of local density functionals in modelling chemical reactions, direct SCF, MP2 methods, molecular frozen fragment approach, treatment of relativistic effects, multicenter multipole expansions, design of optimal catalysts, modeling protein folding etc. Refereed contributions will be published in special issue of international journal COMPUTERS & CHEMISTRY.

It will be sponsored by the US and European Molecular Graphics Societies (the 1994 meeting is in Chicago in July 1994) and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (contact: me or Peter Andrews: p.andrews $#at#$ mailbox.uq.oz.au). [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] From: 15-Dec-1993 1001 One source is Chemical Design Automation News which gets published once a month. Telephone is 617-438-8464 (Stoneham, MA). They keep a pretty good list, but it is by no means complete. Other good sources would be societies related to your field. Suggestions: This Spring's ACS is having a lot of molecular modeling sessions, but it may be too late for you to get in. Tom Ferrin, in the CGL, is giving a talk there I believe. Tom is at UCSF. You might talk to him. American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in May. Being held in Washington , DC. Telephone 301-530-7010 (FASEB) for info.
