For the chemical-structures project, you can send ghemical files, as each 
structure is minimized with MOPAC/PM3 or CML files. You can also send me an 
email with a list of compounds. I will generate the files.

A new language is easy to add. For example, edit the directories.xml file. You 
will see some lines like Polish. Copy and modify 
like this:

Re: [Blue-obelisk] Lanthanides and actinides in BODR

2007-01-08 Thread Jerome Pansanel
Hi,

Here's a definition taken from the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics":

Lanthanide series (Lanthanides) - Rare earth elements of atomic numbers 57 
through 71, which have chemical properties similar to lanthanum (#57).

Actinide series - Elements of atomic numbers 89 to 103 analogous to the 
lanthanide series of the so-called rare earths.

[Blue-obelisk] KOpenBabel: a new building block for a chemistry-aware desktop

2007-02-23 Thread Jerome Pansanel
Hi,

KOpenBabel is a graphical interface to Open Babel. It permits the conversion 
of chemical files (more than 70 file formats are supported).
KOpenBabel is divided in three parts:
- KOpenBabel3: a KDE3 interface
- KOpenBabel4: a KDE4 interface
- QOpenBabel: a Qt4 interface

KOpenBabel3 and QOpenBabel are the most advanced projects. Translastions are 
available in french and german. All basic features are working (file 
conversion, format guessing). All packages are released under the GNU Public 
License.

QOpenBabel has been successfully compiled on Microsoft Windows XP. The 
compilation on Mac OS X must be also possible, but no test has been done.

You can find further details about this project on:
http://kopenbabel.sourceforge.net/

Here's also an interesting hack for KDE:
Place in your konqueror/servicemenus directory the 
file "chemical-cml-convert.desktop":
[Desktop Entry]
 Encoding=UTF-8
 ServiceTypes=chemical/x-cml
 Actions=Convert

 [Desktop Action Convert]
 Name=Convert chemical file
 Exec=kopenbabel
 Icon=background

This permits you to directly add a new item "Convert chemical file" in the 
Actions menu when you right-click on a CML file.

Cheers,

Jerome Pansanel

[Blue-obelisk] Chemical Structures: release v2.0

2007-02-27 Thread Jerome Pansanel
Hi,

The new version 2.0.0 of Chemical Structures released today. This release has 
many new features and fixes:
- the project contains 524 structures
- the build system is based on CMake
- the user interface has been improved by using a new html design
- SMILES string is displayed on the molecule page
- Python scripts are used to generate html pages (instead of XSLT)
- name and formula indexes are available
- many bug fixes
- ...

For an online version, visit the project home page:
http://chem-file.sourceforge.net/

The last version can be downloaded on this page:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169897

About Chemical Structures:
The Chemical Structures project aims to provide a complete set of molecular 
structures. The version 2.0 contains over 500 structures of organic 
compounds. In addition to structural data, each file contains complementary 
informations, like molecular weight, boiling point, melting point or InChI 
code.
Chemical Structures is part of the Blue Obelisk Data Repository.

Cheers,

[Blue-obelisk] From APBS/PyMOL to Jmol and the web

2007-03-21 Thread Jerome Pansanel
A message from the PyMOL list (many occurences of Jmol).

Jerome

--  Message transmis  --


Hi everyone,

Today the American Chemical Society's Chemical Biology published
their second set of interactive structure figures (disclosure:
adapted for Jmol by yours truly) in their March issue. These figures
incorporate molecular electrostatic potential maps calculated with
the APBS plug-in for PyMOL, written by Michael Lerner. This is thanks
to Michael's ready cooperation and Bob Hanson's tireless development
of Jmol.

The figures are available at the following URL (subscription required):
http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/article.cgi/acbcct/2007/2/i03/html/
cb700012y.html
The paper is Mechanistic and Structural Basis of Stereospecific Cβ-
Hydroxylation in Calcium-Dependent Antibiotic, a Daptomycin-Type
Lipopeptide, by Matthias Strieker et al. See figures 4 and 7.

ACS Chemical Biology is leading the way in providing interactive 3D
renderings of authors' structure figures, complete with custom
controls that make use of many powerful aspects of Jmol and 3D
visualization in general. If you'd like to support Chemical Biology's
efforts, please spread the word to colleagues about the journal and
their commitment to this technology.

Thank to the PyMOL community for answering my posts so promptly and
helpfully, making the MEP figures possible.

Best,
Frieda

A good way to promote Blue Obelisk would be to have a link to BO papers.

This week, I'm installing a Free Software for chemical library management 
(CLM) at Toronto SGC group. It use JChemPaint and Jmol applets. I'll add 
links to the software websites and to BO home page on this CLM system.

This can be really useful for other projects managed by BO members, like 
KFile-Chemical. So, it would be good idea to include them into BODR.
