Objective Undertake a 3D pharmacophore search of a table containing 3D coordinates.

• File/Open example_ph4.icb (this file is provided in the ICM distribution and therefore can be found in $ICMHOME or in Windows Program Files/MolSoft
• In this example the 3D pharmacophore has already been extracted from a ligand. To find out how to generate a 3D pharmacophore see the section entitled Pharmacophore Draw 3D.
• In this example a table containing 3D coordinates is already provided containing 3D coordinates. The table is called t_3D.
• To run 3D pharmacophore searching right click on the name of the pharmacophore object in the ICM Workspace and select Search Pharmacophore.
• Select the table t_3D from the drop down list and click OK.
• A table of search results will be displayed.

• You can browse the results by clicking on the table and the ligand will be displayed in the graphical display.
• Remember you can use the check boxes in column L to lock compounds and overlay them.
