[Rdkit-discuss] State of the art for shape alignment

2021-11-11 Thread Tim Dudgeon
I'm looking into the current status of techniques that use RDKit to perform 3D alignments based on shape (e.g. not using AlignMol()) and struggling to find what the best tools are and the status of each. The Open3D align tools are relatively straightforward to use, but in my hands do not seem to
