AutoMeKin (formerly known as ''tsscds'') is a computer program that has been designed to discover reaction mechanisms and solve the kinetics in an automated fashion. AutoMeKin finds transition state structures connecting intermediates and product fragments using MD simulations and Graph Theory algorithms. Then,  Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations give additional information, ''i.e.'', kinetic results at the selected conditions. The user only needs to provide a starting structure of the system. So far, the electronic structure programs [http://openmopac.net/ MOPAC2016] and Gaussian 09 (G09) are interfaced with AutoMeKin.
 
Details of the method are described in these two publications: [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcc.23790/abstract 1]
 
[http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cp/c5cp02175h#!divAbstract 2]
 
 
 
Users are encouraged to read the [[Media:amk_tutorial.pdf| tutorial]], which is thought to guide you through the various steps necessary to predict reaction mechanisms and kinetics of unimolecular decompositions. To facilitate the presentation, we consider, as an example, the decomposition of formic acid (FA).
 
 
 
The program has been tested on the following Linux distros: CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
 
 
 
To give you a flavor of the capabilities of the program you can try our [http://rxnkin.usc.es/amk/ web interface]

The most recent version of AutoMeKin can be [[Media:amk-SOURCE-2018rev.tar.gz| downloaded here ]]<br />
 
A stable (but maybe not up-to-date) version can also be cloned from:<br />

==Install the code==
 
To install the code read the [[Installation instructions]]
 
 
 
==Program execution==
 
To start using any of the scripts of the program, load the amk/2018 module:
 
 
 
<code>module load amk/2018</code>
 
 
 
To run the low-level calculations use:
 
 
 
<code>nohup llcalcs.sh molecule.dat ntasks niter runningtasks >llcalcs.log 2>&1 &</code>
 
 
 
where:<br />
 
<code>molecule</code> is  the name of your molecule<br />
 
<code>ntasks</code> is the number of tasks<br />
 
<code>niter</code> is the number of iterations<br />
 
<code>runningtasks</code> is the number of simultaneous tasks
 
 
 
To run the high-level calculations use:
 
 
 
<code>nohup hlcalcs.sh molecule.dat runningtasks >hlcalcs.log 2>&1 &</code>
 
 
 
For more details, follow the instructions given in the [[Media:amk_tutorial.pdf| tutorial ]]

The improvements briefly described below will be available in AutoMeKin2020.
 
 
 
AutoMeKin has been interfaced with BXDE to enhance its efficiency ([https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/syst.201900024 <span style="font-size:100%"> R. A. Jara-Toro et al. ChemSystemsChem doi: 10.1002/syst.201900024</span>]).
 
 
 
The method has also been recently generalized in a collaboration with Dani Pelaez and co-workers to study van der Waals structures ([https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/qua.26008 <span style="font-size:100%"> S. Kopec et al. Int. J. Quantum Chem. 2019, 119, e26008 </span>]) and also to generate sum-of-products PESs for quantum dynamics ([https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fchem.2019.00576/full <span style="font-size:100%"> R. Panades-Barrueta et al. Frontiers in Chemistry 2019, 7, 576</span>]).
