obfit

obfit(1)						      User's Reference Manual							  obfit(1)

NAME

     obfit -- superimpose two molecules based on a pattern

SYNOPSIS

     obfit SMARTS-pattern fixed-file outfile

DESCRIPTION

     Superimpose two molecules using a quaternion fit. The atoms used to fit the two molecules are defined by the SMARTS pattern given by the
     user. It is useful to align congeneric series of molecules on a common structural scaffold for 3D-QSAR studies. It can also be useful for
     displaying the results of conformational generation.

     Any molecules matching the supplied SMARTS pattern will be rotated and translated to provide the smallest possible RMSD between the matching
     regions. If a molecule does not match the SMARTS pattern, it will be output with no transformation.

EXAMPLES

     Align all the molecules in 'testmv.sdf' on a single molecule of 'testref.sdf' by superimposing them on its N-methylpiperidyl portion (and
     outputting a new SD file to the standard output):

	   obfit '[nh]1c2c(=O)n(C)c(=O)n(C)c2cc1' testref.sdf testmv.sdf
