What is MOPAC2016™ ?
MOPAC2016 is the successor to
MOPAC2012. MOPAC2012 will no longer
be supported. Customers with MOPAC2012 support will be able to upgrade
to MOPAC2016 at no cost.

What's new in MOPAC2016™ ?
• Improved
handling of large biomolecules. This includes the ability to more easily
manipulate macromolecules, e.g., to ionize and de-ionize individual atoms
and residues, superimposition and calculation of RMSD for pairs of systems,
and easier specification of individual atoms.
New in MOPAC2012TM
•
The semiempirical method PM7. This has improved accuracy for
systems that were not used in the parameter optimization process. New in MOPAC2009TM
• The
MOZYME function. This is a linear-scaling SCF technique
suitable for modeling proteins

New in MOPAC2007TM
• NEW parameterization (PM6) using experimental and ab initio data
• More accurate* heats of formation and geometries
• ALL main group elements & transition metals parameterized
• Serious errors from PM3 and AM1 corrected
• Crystals, surfaces & polymers with periodic boundaries
• FREE to academics
