AMS integrates cutting-edge quantum chemical methods, including Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT, with molecular mechanics, fluid thermodynamics, machine learning techniques, and more, to enable multi-scale modeling of complex chemical systems. Its design philosophy allows for seamless coupling between components, facilitating simulations that range from small molecules to complex biomolecular and solid-state systems, making it a versatile tool for tackling interdisciplinary challenges, both in industry and in academia. The suite also emphasizes user accessibility, with an intuitive graphical interface, extensive scripting capabilities, and compatibility with high-performance computing environments.}, issn = {0021-9606}, doi = {10.1063/5.0258496}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0258496}, eprint = {https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article-pdf/doi/10.1063/5.0258496/20497318/162501\_1\_5.0258496.pdf}, }
