Software MOPAC

The semi-empirical molecular orbital calculation software MOPAC in the CAChe Work System for Windows ver. 6.01 (Fujitsu, Inc.) was used in all of calculations for optimization of geometry by the Eigenvector Following method, for search of potential energies of various geometries of intermediates by use of the program with Optimized map, for search of the reaction path from the reactants to the products via the transition state by calculation of the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) [10].

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. 

In order to balance public domain science with a high quality commercial software product it has been necessary for us to reimplement almost every aspect of computational chemistry embodied in HyperChem. All HyperChem source code is written in C or C-t-t, specified, designed, and implemented by Hyper-Chem s developers. We have stood on the scientific shoulders of giants, but we have not used their FORTRAN code Thus, although we have had access to MOPAC and other public domain codes for testing and other purposes, HyperChem computes MINDO, MNDO, and AMI wave functions, for example, with HyperChem code, not MOPAC code. We have made the effort to implement modern chemical science in a modern software-engineered product.

A specialized MOPAC computer software package and, in particular, its PM3 quantum-chemical program has been successfully applied in calculations. The results of calculations have shown that both oxygen atoms form bonds with two more active carbon atoms of CP molecular cluster (so-called bridge model of adsorption). The total energy of system after a chemical adsorption at such active atoms is minimal. 

Structures of various dioxacarbenium and oxiranium intermediates were modeled using CAChe MOPAC molecular orbital software along with a Macintosh Ilci workstation. The conformations and energies of the structures were first computationally minimized and then the heats of formation were calculated. 

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).

This method has been used extensively in the literature for the calculation of molecular hyperpolarizabilities. The calculations employed here utilized the MOPAC and ZINDO methods within the 4.0.1 CAChe Worksystem (Oxford Molecular) software package. MNDO-AM1 method and parameterization M. J. S. Dewar and M. L. McKee, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1977, 99, 5231. Oscillator strengths were calculated using the ZINDO method. 

VIBRATE (normal modes), VOID (protein packing), and mdXvu (visualization of AMBER trajectory files). QCPE has also accepted the responsibility to distribute semicommercial academic software, such as MM2, MM3, MOPAC 93, POLYRATE, PEFF, and COMPARE-CONFORMER. Most programs in library are in FORTRAN and are available as source code. Current catalogs and information are available by anonymous ftp from qcpe6.chem.indiana.edu (129.79.74.206). Many of the programs run on several hardware platforms, including DEC VAX, IBM, Silicon Graphics, Stardent, Sun, Fujitsu, and Cray. 

This method is valid only in the static field limit (zero frequency), which is a weakness. However, recent advances of a derived procedure (Coupled Perturbed Hartree-Fock) permit the frequency dependence of hyperpolarizabilities to be computed. The FF method mainly uses MNDO (modified neglect of diatomic differential overlap) semi-empirical algorithm and the associated parametrizations of AM-1 and PM-3, which are readily available in the popular MOPAC software package. ...
