We describe and demonstrate a method for the simultaneous, fully flexible alignment of multiple molecules with a common biological activity. The key aspect of the algorithm is that the alignment problem is first solved in a lower dimensional space, in this case using the one-dimensional representations of the molecules. The three-dimensional alignment is then guided by constraints derived from the one-dimensional alignment. We demonstrate using 10 hERG channel blockers, with a total of 72 rotatable bonds, that the one-dimensional alignment is able to effectively isolate key conserved pharmacophoric features and that these conserved features can effectively guide the three-dimensional alignment. Further using 10 estrogen receptor agonists and 5 estrogen receptor antagonists with publicly available cocrystal structures we show that the method is able to produce superpositions comparable to those derived from crystal structures. Finally, we demonstrate, using examples from peptidic CXCR3 agonists, that the method is able to generate reasonable binding hypotheses.
