A rapid method for comparing and matching the spherical parameter surfaces of molecules and other irregular objects.
This paper describes a method for the rapid searching of rotational three-dimensional space, relying on the symmetries of the regular icosahedron and dodecahedron. This can be used to compare the spherical parameter surfaces of two molecules.
