[Chimera-users] Potential Energy Calculations

[Elaine Meng]

In my opinion, no.  Maybe you could ask for recommendations of what program(s) would be more appropriate on ccl.net -- we're getting into the territory of general computational chemistry issues that are probably beyond the scope of this forum. 
Best,
Elaine
