Hi

I want to minimize some structures containing amides at the AM1 level
using GAMESS.  I know that in MOPAC the MMOK keyword is necessary in order
to properly treat amides.  Is there a corresponding keyword to apply a
molecular mechanics correction in GAMESS, or is the correction applied
automatically?

ciao,
