Hi Peng -
You probably want to use `pair_fit` here, to align on a conserved core of atom
pairs between the two models. However, two complicating issues here are 1)
equivalent atoms are not listed in the same order in the .mol2 files, and 2)
they don't have atom names, which makes selecting them difficult.
To get around this within PyMOL, you can perform atom selection with atom IDs.
You can view the atom IDs for a selection with the command `label <selection>,
ID`, and then use `pair_fit` to align atom pairs from the two molecules.
If you save the following code block as a PyMOL script called e.g.
"align_mol2.pml" in the same directory as your .mol2 files, launch PyMOL from
that directory (or "File > Working Directory > Change" into it), then run the
command `@align_mol2.pml` at the PyMOL command line, it should do the trick.
You can choose different atom pairs to align, just be sure to list them in the
right order.
```
load MOL002088.mol2, m2088
load MOL002424.mol2, m2424
hide everything, elem H
label visible, ID
python
# Alternate collected atom IDs between models
models = ['MOL002088', 'MOL002424']
# Gather atom IDs from the conserved core
atom_ids = [
# 5-membered ring
20, 13,
19, 12,
8, 8,
3, 7,
9, 14,
# adjoining 6-membered ring
29, 42,
26, 43,
18, 9,
]
# Combine model names and atom IDs into tuples
from itertools import cycle
zipped_atoms = zip(cycle(models), atom_ids)
# Create a string from each tuple in the zipped atoms list
atoms_str = [f'{x[0]} and id {x[1]}' for x in zipped_atoms]
# Align the atom pai
cmd.pair_fit(*atoms_str)
python end
```
One further note: your molecule 2424 has quite a few chemically unrealistic
bond lengths and angles, so I urge you to interpret these models with caution.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Jared

It still very hard to see the differences and similarities. They just
look like a mess. Is there a good way to reveal the differences and
similarities? Are the stereochemistry of all the carbons different? It
seems that the best way is just to show the different ones.
