Molden is a pre- and post-processing program of molecular and electronic structures. It can display molecular density from the ab initio packages GAMESS and GAUSSIAN, and the Semi-Empirical packages Mopac/Ampac. Molden is capable of displaying molecular orbitals, the electron density and the molecular minus atomic density. It can write a variety of graphics instructions; postscript, XWindows, VRML, tekronix4014, hpgl, hp2392 and figure. The XWindows version of Molden is also capable of importing and displaying of chemx, PDB, and a variety of Mopac/Ampac files. It also can animate reaction paths and molecular vibrations. It can calculate and display the true or multipole derived electrostatic potential and atomic charges can be fitted to the electrostatic potential calculated on a Connolly surface. Molden has a powerful Z-matrix editor which give full control over the geometry and allows you to build molecules from scratch, including polypeptides.
