Exorga, Inc. - Consultants in Chemistry, Molecular Modeling, and the Environment
A
company of consultants in chemistry and chemical engineering, actively involved
in computational, experimental, and environmental organic chemistry.
Two molecules of the tetrabenzoate of xylopyranose
in the unit cell of its crystal.
Note that the counter-intuitive axial conformation is favoured in the
solid phase.
Find out about STR3DI32's molecular models, how you can generate them, and how you can use them in your daily tasks, presentations, reports and publications.
THE STR3DI32 MOLECULAR
MODELERS
You
only purchase a license to use STR3DI32, or its utilities, once! All subsequent upgrades are FREE! Currently registered users of the STR3DI32
MOLECULAR MODELER can get their free upgrade by e-mail. Simply send us your name, STR3DI32
version number, and your e-mail address, and we'll send the upgrade back by
e-mail.
The file conversion utility, FILECONV, which will convert most structure data files,
including CIF, PDB, MDL, Schakal, XYZ, MOL, and other files, into the very
compact STR files, has been updated and fully integrated with STR3DI32.
LINUX and Apple users can run STR3DI32 in windows emulators.
We shall release a LINUX version of STR3DI32 in the near future.
We want to get STR3DI32 to as many users as is possible, but we do want
it to be as bug free and user-friendly as is possible.
So, if you have used STR3DI32, then we need your frank impressions of the
program. We beg you to spend
a few minutes to send us e-mail with your criticisms and suggestions.
Users of the STR3DI32 molecular modelers should visit the STR3DI32 Tips and Shortcuts site frequently. Questions about the features and uses of the molecular modelers are answered and discussed here. Valuable tips for maximizing your efficiency when using the STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELER can also be found there.
Visit the STR3DI32 Molecular Models and Templates page to look for new structures/templates that can be valuable for building more complex molecular models.
The STR3DI32 user's guide (also the online help file) for STR3DI32 is updated quite frequently and is available for download. Current users of the STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELER should put a copy of this file into their \STR directories.
The recent versions of STR3DI32 have been configured to enable users of molecular databases to easily get data about their molecular models into these databases. Remember that Windows 95/98/ME/NT/XP compatible database manager, DBOX32, is available, with several exciting features. The DBOX database manager is designed to enable users to create molecular databases that can contain text and interface seamlessly with STR3DI32 to conduct molecular modeling. This simplifies the storage and retrieval of information about your molecular models and x-ray data, without having to tussle with paper-based files containing long lists of cryptic filenames.
EXORGA's ONLINE STRUCTURE SERVER/ENERGY MINIMIZER
We have posted several hundred templates, many of them monosaccharides, on our BBS (bulletin board), to make them available, and downloadable, to current users of the STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELER.
This unique BBS is also coupled with the STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELER, and any uploaded STR3DI32 structure files (.sxs files that are fully elaborated in STR format) will be structure-energy minimized and then reposted on the BBS with a .ixs extension. You can rename these .isx files to .sxs files after you have downloaded them. STR3DI32 will also read these .ixs file. This server will therefore do your structure-energy minimizations, if you ask it to, AND provide you with valuable templates.
Current users of the STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELERS can email us for information on accessing this valuable new service.
EXORGA's ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Are you planning to introduce your undergraduates to molecular modeling, or already have an existing molecular modeling course/workshop in your chemistry program?
Exorga wants to get STR3DI32 into every undergraduate molecular modeling course and has initiated an Academic Partnership Program that is designed to provide schools and colleges with unlimited technical support and outstanding customer service.
We'll schedule site visits by our professionals to instruct you and your students in the use of our programs. We'll show you how to get involved in exciting and intellectually stimulating molecular modeling exercises, cheaply.
E-mail us, including your name, affiliation, and a brief description of your (proposed) program, and we'll provide you with all of the information you'll need to access this valuable new service.
UPGRADE CHAT
Every now and then we rigorously test the QVBMM molecular mechanics force field. It isn't that we have found anything "wrong" with the force field, but, being perfectionists, we can't help wondering if we can make it a bit better. No major re-parameterization has ever been found to be necessary, and the changes that have been implemented are quite small, but they do result in better simulations of complex biomolecules such as DNA/RNA oligomers, sugars, peptides, etc..
Molecular modeling programs are memory hogs! They use large arrays and really grab hold of the computer’s resources. STR3DI32 automatically helps you to husband your computer's precious memory resources using its Automatic Memory Management feature that enables STR3DI32 to use the minimum memory required during its operations. This feature greatly facilitates multi-tasking when using STR3DI32 in Windows 95/98/NT/XP/Vista/7 systems.
STR3DI32 TEMPLATES
As we stated above, we do have many template structures that you can use to build even more complex molecular models in STR3DI32. We will share these data with you, if you ask, and so we have stocked a webpage with the files of some of these STR3DI32 template structures in order for you to test the efficacy of this offer. If you need a template, and did not find it with those you downloaded, then just drop us a line and we'll place the datafile in the STR3DI32 TEMPLATE STRUCTURES page.
STR3DI32 is "Wonderfully Web Wise"
STR3DI32 works seamlessly with your Web Browsers, FireFox and/or MicroSoft Internet Explorer, as a helper/viewer application. This feature gives you access to full-featured, uncompromising, molecular modeling experiences, via the World Wide Web!
MicroSoft's Internet Explorer doesn't need any tweaking and works superbly once you have associated your XXS and SXS files with the STR3DI32 molecular modeler. However, FireFox users will need to configure it to recognize STR3DI32 as a "helper", a very simple task that we'll guide you through if you visit our Tips and Shortcuts page.
While browsing the WWW, if you "click" on a hypertext link to a file that has an extension XXS or SXS (one of STR3DI32's native structure data files), Internet Explorer will automatically launch STR3DI32, and the molecule embedded in the file will pop up onscreen - ready for a FULL, molecular modeling exercise! If you do not get an automatic launch of STR3DI32 it might either be that you have not associated these filename extensions with STR3DI32, or that you need a small addition to your computer’s registry. Contact us and we’ll help you to experience the rich molecular modeling experiences that you deserve.
So, if you are using STR3DI32, you can simply navigate to our STR3DI32 TEMPLATE STRUCTURE S page, click on any URL (hypertext link) to a downloadable file that has the XXS or SXS extension, and have GREAT fun with molecular modeling, before deciding whether to download the file or save it to your \STR\DATA directory. If the response from our users is great enough, then we’ll transform this website into a "file server" and then you won't even have to keep the data on your hard drive! Just imagine what a classroom full of students, or a lab full of researchers, could do with this!
We'll need your input (tell us what structures you want to stored there), and participation, but we'll all benefit from this collaboration.
TIPS FOR USING THE STR3DI32 MOLECULAR MODELER
Our customer Service has initiated a page devoted to addressing, in a reviewable form, some of the questions they are most frequently asked. We prefer to regard this page, not as a FAQ, but as a compilation of STR3DI32 Tips and Shortcuts that will ease and speed your developing acquaintanceship with our molecular modelers.
