Introducing a new measure to quantify molecular structural uncertainty

Has your research ever been derailed on discovering that your compound was assigned the wrong structure? You’re not alone. Now, an open-source program can get you back on track by showing where in the structure to check for mistakes. Plus, it can be automated for use with high-throughput robotic syntheses.
