Hi JP,
Do you want to do a shape align or just any sort of alignment?

There is a MolAlign in All.Chem which will give you an RMSD align. This works 
well if you have reasonably similar molecules (do a GetSubstructMatch before to 
get the atom list).
Don't think there is a shape alignment for whole molecules – there is however 
the subshapeAligner module in rdkit.Chem but I never used this one.

Ciao
Nik

Subject: [Rdkit-discuss] Volume Overlap using RDKit


RDKitters,

Long time no type, I've been busy with that little chestnut of my PhD...

I would like to align two molecules and calculate the shape tanimoto with 
ShapeTanimotoDist(...).  The issue is that this method requires a pre-defined 
alignment - which I do not have.

Is there a way how to do a molecular volume overlap in RDKit?  I cannot seem to 
find it and the only related discussion I can find is 
here<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00512.html>.
  But the fourth slide 
here<http://www.slideshare.net/baoilleach/cinfony-bring-cheminformatics-toolkits-into-tune>,
 clearly states that RDKit is able to do this.

If this is not RDKit-doable anyone else has come across some publicly available 
tools to do this?  A quick search lead me to 
Shape-it<http://silicos-it.com/software/shape-it/1.0.1/shape-it.html>, from 
Hans (who I met at the user group meeting) - anyone used this before?

p.s. no one ever sent/made available the group photo we took at the 1st RDKit 
meeting :(
