Description
Computes the heavy-atom RMSD of identical compound structures. Structures in multi-structure files are
compared one-by-one unless -firstonly is passed, in which case only the first structure in the reference
file is used.
Examples
obrmsref.sdftest.sdf
Calculate the RMSD between ref.sdf and test.sdf. Both files should have the same number of molecules.
obrms-fref.sdftest.sdf
Calculate the RMSD between the first molecule in ref.sdf and each molecule in test.sdf.
Name
obrms — Calculate the heavy-atom RMSD between two chemically identical structures
Options
-f,--firstonly
use only the first structure in the reference file (otherwise the nth molecule in the reference
file is compared to the nth molecule in the test file)
-m,--minimize
Compute the minimum RMSD achievable by applying a rigid-body transformation to the test molecule
-x,--cross
Compute all n^2 RMSDs between molecules of the reference file. Test file is ignored.
-s,--separate
Separate reference file into constituent molecules (disconnected fragments) and report best RMSD
-o,--out
Re-oriented test structure output (used with -m)
