By default, the fingerprints are "folded" to certain bit lengths. http://open-babel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/FileFormats/Fingerprint_format.html Try: obabel [file] -O file.fpt -xfMACCS -xN166 This will give you 166 bits (or whatever you specify) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
