MOPAC software importance

CODESSA reads molecular structure files or output files created by other software packages as the starting point for QSAR analysis. It can import computational results from AMPAC, MOPAC, and Gaussian as well as structures in a number of common formats. [Pg.354]

The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB-PDB at http //www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do is the online source for X-ray and NMR structural data. Many software programs mentioned in Section 4.5 include the facihty to visualize imported data however, two free software programs operate well in this regard. One is MDL Chime described previously in this section. Chime, a chemical structure visualization plug-in for Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator, supports a wide variety of molecule coordinate formats, including PDB (protein data bank), Molfile (from ISIS/Draw), MOP (MOPAC input hies), and GAU (Gaussian Input hies).
