obgrep(1) User's Reference Manual obgrep(1) NAME
obgrep -- an advanced molecular search program using SMARTS SYNOPSIS
obgrep [OPTIONS] 'SMARTS-pattern' filename DESCRIPTION
The obgrep tool can be used to search for molecules inside multi-molecule database files (e.g., SMILES, SDF, etc.) or across multiple files. OPTIONS
If only a filename is given, obgrep will attempt to guess the file type from the filename extension. -c Print the number of matches -f Full match, print matching-molecules only when the number of heavy atoms is also equal to the number of atoms in the SMARTS pattern -i format Specifies input and output format, see babel(1) for available formats -n Only print the name of the molecules -t # Print a molecule only if the pattern occurs # times inside the molecule -v Invert the matching, print non-matching molecules EXAMPLES
Note that in all examples, the SMARTS pattern is enclosed in single quotes '...' to ensure it is not changed by the shell. Print all the molecules with a methylamine group: obgrep 'CN' database.smi Print all the molecules without a methylamine group: obgrep -v 'CN' database.smi Print the number of molecules without a methylamine group: obgrep -v -c 'CN' database.smi Print methylamine (if it exists in the file): obgrep -f 'CN' database.smi Print methylamine and/or methanol (if they exist): obgrep -f 'C[N,O]' database.smi Print all molecules with aromatic carbon in all SMILES files in the directory (i.e., *.smi) obgrep 'c' *.smi SEE ALSO

obrotate(1) User's Reference Manual obrotate(1) NAME
obrotate -- batch-rotate dihedral angles matching SMARTS patterns SYNOPSIS
obrotate 'SMARTS-pattern' filename atom1 atom2 atom3 atom4 angle DESCRIPTION
The obrotate program rotates the torsional (dihedral) angle of a specified bond in molecules to that defined by the user. In other words, it does the same as a user setting an angle in a molecular modelling package, but much faster and in batch mode (i.e. across multiple molecules in a file). The four atom IDs required are indexes into the SMARTS pattern, which starts at atom 0 (zero). The angle supplied is in degrees. The two atoms used to set the dihedral angle <atom1> and <atom4> do not need to be connected to the atoms of the bond <atom2> and <atom3> in any way. The order of the atoms matters -- the portion of the molecule attached to <atom1> and <atom2> remain fixed, but the portion bonded to <atom3> and & <atom4> moves. EXAMPLES
Let's say that you want to define the conformation of a large number of molecules with a pyridyl scaffold and substituted with an aliphatic chain at the 3-position, for example for docking or 3D-QSAR purposes. To set the value of the first dihedral angle to 90 degrees: obrotate 'c1ccncc1CCC' pyridines.sdf 5 6 7 8 90 Here 6 and 7 define the bond to rotate in the SMARTS patter, i.e., c1-C and atoms 5 and 8 define the particular dihedral angle to rotate. Since the atoms to define the dihedral do not need to be directly connected, the nitrogen in the pyridine can be used: obrotate 'c1ccncc1CCC' pyridines.sdf 4 6 7 8 90 Keep the pyridyl ring fixed and moves the aliphatic chain: obrotate 'c1ccncc1CCC' pyridines.sdf 5 6 7 8 90 Keep the aliphatic chain fixed and move the pyridyl ring: obrotate 'c1ccncc1CCC' pyridines.sdf 8 7 6 5 90 SEE ALSO
