摘要
We here propose the program VEGA, that was developed to create a bridge between the most popular molecular software packages. In this tool some features are implemented some features to analyze, display and manage the three dimensional (313) structure of the molecules. The most important features are (1) file format conversion (with assignment of the atom types and atomic charges), (2) surface calculation and (3) trajectory analysis. The executable and the source code can be free downloaded from http://users.unimi.it/similar toddl. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
