What is MOPAC2016TM ?
MOPAC2016 is the successor to 
MOPAC2012. MOPAC2012 will no longer
be supported.  Customers with MOPAC2012 support will be able to upgrade
to MOPAC2016 at no cost.

What's new in MOPAC2016TM ?
	
 Improved 
	handling of large biomolecules. This includes the ability to more easily 
	manipulate macromolecules, e.g., to ionize and de-ionize individual atoms 
	and residues, superimposition and calculation of RMSD for pairs of systems, 
	and easier specification of individual atoms. 
	
 New in MOPAC2012TM
 
The semiempirical method PM7.  This has improved accuracy for 
systems that were not used in the parameter optimization process. New in MOPAC2009TM
 The 
MOZYME function.  This is a linear-scaling SCF technique
suitable for modeling proteins

 New in MOPAC2007TM
 NEW parameterization (PM6) using experimental and ab initio data
 More accurate* heats of formation and geometries
 ALL main group elements & transition metals parameterized
 Serious errors from PM3 and AM1 corrected
 Crystals, surfaces & polymers with periodic boundaries
 FREE to academics
