HyperChem is developed by Hypercube, and is licensed to Autodesk(R), Inc., who have announced that it will be available in April. Release 3 is a major upgrade of HyperChem. HyperChem Release 2, introduced one year ago, created a new standard for molecular modeling on the PC, by bringing extensive molecular modeling capabilities to the Windows operating environment. HyperChem now has the largest installed base of PC molecular simulation software. It is used for teaching and research in over 400 colleges and universities. Major New Features ------------------ o Easy and complete control over stereochemistry. o Computation, display and analysis of IR and UV spectra from semi-empirical methods, with static and dynamic display of vibrational normal modes. o Additional file and clipboard formats supported. o Ribbons display of peptides and proteins. o Up to twelve bonded neighbours handled by model builder and by all computational methods. o Improved semi-empirical quantum mechanics computations: - Several-fold speed increase. - INDO/1 and INDO/S methods included for transition metals. - PM3 method added. - Computation of part of a system available for all methods. - User-specified restraining forces to constrain geometries. - Interactive energy-level diagram for choosing and inspecting molecular orbitals. o Control of initial velocities for dynamics calculations from the user interface. o Faster and more extensive script and Windows DDE capabilities, including: - MO coefficients and energies. - Grids of computed electronic properties. - Spectroscopic transitions and normal modes. HyperChem Release 3 has the untapped potential to run remote calculations on UNIX computers. This will require a third party implementation of the new Windows WINSOCK protocol and not-yet-available versions of the computational modules installed on the UNIX computer.
