<p><b>Austin Model 1</b>, or <b>AM1</b>, is a <a href="Computational_Chemistry" class="mw-redirect" title="Computational Chemistry">semi-empirical</a> method for the <a href="Quantum_chemistry" title="Quantum chemistry">quantum</a> calculation of molecular electronic structure in <a href="Computational_chemistry" title="Computational chemistry">computational chemistry</a>. It is based on the <a href="NDDO" title="NDDO">Neglect of Differential Diatomic Overlap</a> integral approximation. Specifically, it is a generalization of the <a href="MNDO" title="MNDO">modified neglect of differential diatomic overlap approximation</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Jensen2007_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jensen2007-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Related methods are <a href="PM3_(chemistry)" title="PM3 (chemistry)">PM3</a> and the older <a href="MINDO" title="MINDO">MINDO</a>.
</p><p>AM1 was developed by <a href="Michael_J._S._Dewar" title="Michael J. S. Dewar">Michael Dewar</a> and co-workers and published in 1985. AM1 is an attempt to improve the <a href="MNDO" title="MNDO">MNDO</a> model by reducing the repulsion of atoms at close separation distances. The atomic core-atomic core terms in the MNDO equations were modified through the addition of off-center attractive and repulsive <a href="Gaussian" class="mw-redirect" title="Gaussian">Gaussian</a> functions.
</p><p>The complexity of the parameterization problem increased in AM1 as the number of parameters per atom increased from 7 in <a href="MNDO" title="MNDO">MNDO</a> to 13-16 per atom in AM1.
</p><p>The results of AM1 calculations are sometimes used as the starting points for parameterizations of forcefields in <a href="Molecular_modelling" title="Molecular modelling">molecular modelling</a>.
</p><p>AM1 is implemented in the <a href="MOPAC" title="MOPAC">MOPAC</a>, <a href="AMPAC" title="AMPAC">AMPAC</a>, <a href="Gaussian_(software)" title="Gaussian (software)">Gaussian</a>, <a href="CP2K" title="CP2K">CP2K</a>, <a href="GAMESS_(US)" title="GAMESS (US)">GAMESS (US)</a>, <a href="PC_GAMESS" class="mw-redirect" title="PC GAMESS">PC GAMESS</a>, <a href="GAMESS_(UK)" title="GAMESS (UK)">GAMESS (UK)</a>, and <a href="Spartan_(chemistry_software)" title="Spartan (chemistry software)"> SPARTAN</a> programs.
</p><p>An extension of AM1 is <a href="SAM1" title="SAM1">SemiChem Austin Model 1</a> (SAM1), which is implemented in the <a href="AMPAC" title="AMPAC">AMPAC</a> program and which explicitly treats d-orbitals.
</p><p>An extension of AM1 is <a href="AM1*" title="AM1*">AM1*</a> that is available in VAMP software.
