Hi Dan, Regarding (1) the relevant section in the docs is at http://openbabel.org/docs/2.3.0/Fingerprints/fingerprints.html. I think that the section on Similiarity Searching answers this question. Question (2) is about searching for exact matches. Currently the only way to do this is matching

When there are only a small number of molecules, fpt format will give you what you want; you are nearly there. In the GUI, select sdf for the input format and ftp for the output. Open the sdf file with the pattern molecule, then open the sdf file with all the other molecules you want to

Dear All, I made some progress with calculating tanimoto coefficient. I learn't to so it from command line in my ubuntu machine. I was able to do it for two molecules with the following command PROMPT babel mysmiles.smi mymols.sdf -ofpt When I tried it for larger set, 1 (mysmiles.smi) vs

Dan You can look for an exact match in a large dataset using fastsearch format. Index the data file (which must not be compressed): obabel datset.xxx -ofs Do an exact structure search: obabel dataset.fs -O out.yyy -s SMILES exact where the SMARTS string can be replaced by a

If the charges in the input file are all zero then the output file will contain nonzero gasteiger partialcharges. Hmm. That would be a bug. I'll take a look. -Geoff -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE
