To expand on Gustavo's answer.
Amber has been interfaced with Pupil, a 'broker' program.
So far it talks to gaussian and siesta on one side, and amber (and
dlpoly) on the other side.
See:
“A versatile AMBER-Gaussian QM/MM interface through PUPIL.” Juan Torras,
Gustavo de M. Seabra, Erik Deumens, S.B. Trickey and Adrian E. Roitberg.
Journal of Computational Chemistry. 29:10, 1564-1573 (2008)
for the general ideas, and:
"A Multiscale Treatment of Angeli’s Salt Decomposition"
Juan Torras, Gustavo de M. Seabra and Adrian E. Roitberg
J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2009, 5 (1), pp 37–46
For a particular application.
We are working on adding the following implementations at this time:
gamess
nwchem
Q-chem
The API for Pupil should allow almost anyone to add whatever program you
desire. In fact, we would love some help with a couple of the
implementations.
Cheers
Adrian
