An interesting thread has developed on the CCL list regarding XML,
chemistry, markup and "whether we need yet another chemistry file format".
The list does not (unless I missed something ) gather discussions by thread,
but you can see the 15-20 postings at
http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/month-index.cgi?1999+05
Both sides of the argument are well, often coherently, and almost always
presented with great passion. If you want to know whether XML
is the "next generation for the Web" or not, you should read this
discussion!
By the way, one of the postings mentions that "chemistry" is surprisingly
laggardly in its uptake of XML compared to other disciplines. Surprising,
consider the wonderfully fine grained nature of most chemical information.

Subject: molecular visualization on PCs
Dear Colleague:
My group has lately been doing quantum chemistry and MD calculations
to aid experimental interpretation. We needed a good visualization
program, and wanted one that would run on PCs because that's what we
have. Leif Laaksonen (http://laaksonen.csc.fi/gopenmol/gopenmol.html)
has written a powerful (and free) program called gOpenMol that runs on
Win 95/98/NT boxes, as well as Unix workstations. The program can
work with about 20 common input formats (Gaussian, GAMESS, Mopac,
Xmol, PDB, ....). gOpenMol does lots of things, and makes very well
rendered images/animations that can be exported in a variety of
formats. It uses Tcl scripts, so it is possible to automate or extend
the program to suit your application.
One problem has been that documentation is minimal, and to help with
this, I have written a tutorial that covers the basics of gOpenMol.
This can be viewed or downloaded by clicking the "Using gOpenMol"
button at the bottom of my web page:
http://www.chem.utah.edu/chemistry/faculty/anderson/anderson.html
The tutorial demonstrates the following operations:
Visualize molecular structures in all the usual formats (stick, ball
and stick....)
Visualize MOs, densities, spin densities, etc, in a variety of formats
(contours, surface plots...)
Animate vibrations from a quantum chemistry calculation, and write out
animations as frames or movies.
Visually manipulate subgroups of atoms (e.g. subunits in a complex)
then write out geometries for further calculations (e.g. to generate
guesses for transition state geometries).
gOpenMol can do many other things, but this should get you started.

Dear colleagues
Aplogies if you read this more than once.
Just to say that WebElements, the periodic table on the WWW, has been
revamped. What you will see is a different (hopefully cleaner) interface,
fewer routine graphics on pages to help access times, better graphics using
"cityscape" type images. For the moment, at least, the frames interface is
on hold.
Over the years the directory structure has got more and more complex and
further development was becoming bogged own as a result. As a result, I
have reorganized the file structure totally to allow further work to
proceed more quickly. Those of you who have bookmarked some internal file
will have a broken bookmark. I apologise for that, but it had to be done.
In the next month you will see graphs of periodic properties for individual
groups, periods, and blocks.
There are still interface glitches and I'm still refining the interface
before enhancing the chemical content. If anyone is so inclined, I should
appreciate feedback on any aspect of the package.
