CCL: software for selective alignment of different elements of the small molecules

Andrey, I have recently done this with a set of sterol side-chain conformers and used DSvisualizer 2.X or DS viewerpro 6.0 using a semi-automatic method for conformations generated by Verachem's Vconf. Go to align structures and add tethers to the key parts of the molecule in the region that you want to overlay. I have overlaid many molecules very accurately using this method. There is not much need for tweaking the results if the points are correctly chosen. OS is MS WinXP in my case. Dave

 Dear CCL users,
 I'd like to find the software for alignment of the selected  small molecule
 elements. For example I have a series of conformations and I am getting
 alignment with one shared element, while I'd like to try to use another. Let's
 say I have parts A, B, C, D and E and I want to get parts D and E alignmed so
 that I can see the differences in parts A and B orientation. Can you please
 recommend software packages which can help me to do selective alignment?
 It would be nice to use something free or with evaluation version.
 Sincerely yours,
 Andrey>
