Spartan Student Edition Graphical User Interface

The Spartan Graphical User Interface. Spartan Student Edition for Macintosh has a single, fully-featured GUI that many consider to be the best in the business. The Student Version GUI is based on the easy to use Spartan'04 interface. In very little time, you can build and manipulate molecules, run molecular mechanics and quantum chemical calculations, and display results in text output, tabulated spreadsheet and plots, and in graphical form.


	Builders and More:
	Organic	Accesses a builder for common organic fragments (e.g., "sp³ carbon"), functional groups and rings for easy construction of organic molecules.

	Inorganic	Extends building throughout the Periodic Table. Includes a library of common ligands.

	Peptide	Accesses a builder of amino acids for construction of polypeptides as a helices, b sheets or in user-defined conformations.

	Nucleotide	Accesses a builder of nucleotide bases for construction of double stranded DNA helices as either A or B DNA.

	Structure Refinement	Allows fast minimization inside the builders using MMFF94 molecular mechanics.

	Transition States	Provides guess for transition states by pattern matching to an extensive library of precalculated structures. The user needs only to specify reactant(s) and "reaction arrows". The "fallback" is the linear synchronous transit method.

	Student Spartan Molecular Database	A library of more than 6,000 commonly encountered molecules is included with the Spartan Student Edition. Automatically searched when building, available data includes: name, geometry, gas-phase energy, solvation energy (aqueous), frontier molecular orbitals, dipole moments, charges, surface area, volume, molecular weight and symmetry.
