Announcement of Amber 4.0



  The latest version of the AMBER molecular modelling/molecular dynamics
 package will be available for general release in early May.  Amber 4.0 is
 a joint effort of Peter Kollman's group at UC San Francisco and David Case's
 group at Scripps Clinic.  The new version contains an extensively updated
 version of "gibbs" (expanding possibilities for carrying out free
 energy
 simulations,) a module specifically designed for NMR structural refinements,
 a new normal mode program, and implementation of polarization terms in the
 force field.  In addition, we have worked hard to make the programs and the
 users' manual easier to understand (but no promises....)
