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	struc-
       tural scaffold for 3D-QSAR studies. It can also be useful for  display-
       ing 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
