A
molecular
mechanics program developed by Norman Allinger and co-workers; the MM2 model
is the molecular
potential energy
function described by the equations, rules and parameters embodied in that
program
A
molecular
mechanics program developed by Cambridge Scientific Computing that closely
follows the MM2 model, adding a graphical user interface
and other features
A
fast and approximate method for computing the structure and behavior of molecules or materials based on a series of
assumptions that greatly simplify chemistry,
for example, that atoms
and the bonds
that connect them behave like "balls and springs". The
approximations make possible the study of large and complex systems, or the very rapid study of smaller systems, not possible with more accurate quantummechanical
methods.
