MOLDEN: a pre- and post- processing program for molecular and electronic structures
Interfaced via program output • Gaussian • GAMESS-US • GAMESS-UK • MOPAC, AMPAC
Interfaced via Molden Format • ADF • MOLPRO • ACESII • MOLCAS • JAGUAR • DALTON • HONDO • CADPAC
Molden Calculates • Electron Density: • Molecular Density • Molecular minus Atomic Density • Laplacian of the electron density • Electrostatic Potential (ESP) • Multipole Moments • Charges and Multipoles fit to ESP • Mulliken charges, molecular dipole
Electrostatic Potential mapped on an isodensity surface
Graphical Output Formats • Xwindows • Postscript • OpenGL, VRML • PovRay • Tek4010, HPGL etc.
Postscript Contour Plot of Difference Density of H2O2
Interface to tinker MM3 force field Interface to the Xtinker crystal minimizer Edit Cell Parameters and Spacegroup
Building of Protein Structure
Interactive manipulation of Atom Types Interface to Tinker Protein Force Fields
