Molecular fitting

Fitting 2 molecules.

Moilin input (XYZ) files are required for each molecule.
In this example 2 molecules will be loaded from the Moilin Library.

Start Oscail, click File and select Ptest Moilin Scratch



Click the Moilin icon and when Moilin starts click the build button then click Purge on the Build menu and then Molecules



Select Add.Mol and then Aromatics and Methylbenzene.



Click or the right mouse button to return to the main Moilin menu.
Click to start Moilin9. In Moilin9 you will need to rotate the structure.



click the build button then Molecules Add.Mol Aromatics and Naphthalene

To rotate the second molecule click the right mouse button to return to the main menu and click (move molecule relative) and then select one of the atoms of the naphthalene with a left click and click the right mouse.
Rotate the molecule and then click Return on the menu. To start fitting then Molecules then Fitting and the display should be as shown.

   

Starting with the molecule on the left - left click an atom and then a corresponding atom in the molecule on the right. When you have selected three of more atom pairs the fitting can be activated by a right mouse click.

Return to the main menu with a right mouse click and you can view the fitting error using Edit / GEO

Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 1.9714782E-02
Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 2.0255925E-02
Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 1.9933658E-02
Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 1.9703809E-02
Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 1.0458266E-02
Fitting Error ,SQRT((X1-X2)^2), C > C = 1.3852126E-02
Fitting Error on 6 pairs
SQRT(SUM((X1-X2)^2)/n) = 1.7728614E-02


Click to return to Moilin.

Notice CBMN (colour by molecule number) is selected on return from Moilin9 when fitting has been used.



and the fitted molecules should look like the display



To fit more then 2 molecules select Multifit on the Moilin9 menu when you first go to Moil;in9.



After each molecule is fitted load another molecule and repeat the fitting. Do not leave Moilin9 unit all fitting is finished.



In this example Toluene, ethylbenzene, naphthalene and antracene have been fitted.
