Summary: PDB, MOL2 file saving improperly

Initial Comment:
No error messages, the files are “internally consistent” – ie
Avagadro reads everything it writes out, however PDB files are
sometimes written with the wrong molecule types. I’ve attached an
example PDB file that avagadro wrote, which is erroneous – the ATOM
TYPES are not consistent.

This problem seems to occur when I open a PDB file of a small
molecule, edit it a bit – change a few atom types, re-optimize
geometries etc, then re-save as a new PDB file…

Avagadro, however, manages to correct this problem by writing to CML
format first, then reopening that file, then saving that file as a
PDB file. (Likely because the CML format only has 1 specifier for
atom type, where as the PDB file format written by avagadro uses 2
fields for atom type… and is not consitent in the usage.)

Note the attached file has an error on line number 19, where
avagadro seems to have written that this atom (which should be a
carbon) is both a hydrogen and a carbon atom. This is odd, avagadro
reopens this file and thinks the atom is a carbon atom, external
programs (i’ve tried 3) all read it as hydrogen atom.

Here’s line 19:
ATOM 14 H LIG 1 -4.913 0.200 0.542 1.00
0.00 C

I suspect this is a bug in avagadro’s interaction with open babel.

the skills required are very related to
those of people in this list.

Place:
Vigo, Spain

Commencing Date: As soon as possible

Job Description:
Applications are invited for a post-doc position in the organic
chemistry deparment in the University of Vigo. The aim of the research

Initial Comment:

From time to time, there is a problem with surface creation, both
van der Waals and electrostatic. When I click “calculate”, Avogadro
unexpectedly goes down. I have 0.9.7 version for MAC. My
configuration is: MAC OS 10.5.8, Dual Core 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM. Thank
you

The Avogadro project is proud to announce the availability of Avogadro
0.9.8. This is a bug fix release containing some feature enhancements,
and bug fixes.

Avogadro is an advanced, cross-platform molecular editor designed for
flexible use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling,
bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas. Packages are
available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows, as well as source code
provided under the GNU GPL.

This release includes numerous enhancements and fixes from previous
releases. The major improvements include:

  • Menu option to reset the display types
  • Updated translations and fixed issues on Windows with UTF-8
  • New structure resolver service in the import menu
  • Many, many more bug fixes and minor feature improvements

We hope you will contact the development team with any questions,
comments or concerns. In particular, if you would like to
contribute, or
find out how to use Avogadro to fit your needs, we hope to hear from
you.

Thanks,
-The Avogadro Project

There are two places that Avogadro will display the calculated
energy of the molecule, but they give conflicting information.

  the Molecule properties under the View Menu lists the energy  

as kj/mol

  but the Calculate Energy option under the Extensions -  

Molecular Mechanics menu lists the energy as kcal/mol

Since the number is identical, one of these has the wrong units.

Hi,

I used the Avogadro Conformer Search (under Extensions-Molecular
Mechanics) to find conformations for hexane.

The highest energy conformer listed (View-Properties-Conformer
properties) has an energy of 1190 !!

As it turns out, this is the lowest energy conformer - the all-anti
conformer. When I calculate the energy for this structure, I get
-5.474 (Extensions-Molecular Mechanics-Calculate Energy)

It would be nice if the units for the energy were specified.

All the other results from the Conformer Search look reasonable.

One other thing I noticed: You can sort the Conformer results by
energy. It would be nice if you could also sort by Conformer number
because it looks pretty. Once you have sorted by energy, the
numbering in the left column is out of order.

Initial Comment:
When Creating molecules with even basic structures (e.g. propane)
Avogadro does not show the electrostatic surface when the surface
viewing option is selected. On a side note clicking the cartoon
option(?) causes avogadro to crash.
I am running a PPC Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Avogadro 0.9.7. I
can provide more info if needed.

Yeah, this is my bug. I’ll go to fix that now. The MM method is
correct. I started to standardize things with the property window, but
didn’t finish.

Summary: Additional main menu entries in ru_RU.utf8 locale

Initial Comment:
The main menu entries under “Build” and “Extensions” categories are
spanned over several menus in avogadro 0.9.8 running in ru_RU.utf8
locale due to non-synchronized translations in avogadro-ru.po and
libavogadro-ru.po. See the screenshot showing 10 menu entries in
ru_RU.utf8 locale instead of 8 entries in “C” locale.
