Gabedit is a graphical user interface to GAMESS (US), Gaussian, MOLCAS, MOLPRO, MPQC, OpenMopac, PC GAMESS, ORCA and Q-Chem computational chemistry packages.

Major features

  • Builds molecules by atom, ring, group, amino acid and nucleoside.
  • Creates an input file for computational chemistry packages.
  • Reads output from the ab initio packages, and supports a number of other formats.
  • Displays molecular orbitals or electron density as contour plots or 3D grid plots and output to a number of graphical formats.
  • Animates molecular vibrations, contours, isosurfaces and rotation.
