Ghemicalis acomputational chemistrysoftware package written inC++and released under theGNU General Public License.[2]The program hasgraphical user interfacebased onGTK+2and supportsquantum mechanicalandmolecular mechanicmodels, with geometry optimization, molecular dynamics, and a large set of visualization tools. Ghemical relies on external code to provide the quantum-mechanical calculations —MOPACprovides the semi-empiricalMNDO,MINDO,AM1,andPM3methods, andMPQCmethods based onHartree–Fockcalculations.

The chemicalexpert systemis based onOpenBabel,which provides basis functionality like atom typing, rotamer generation and import/export ofchemical file formats.
