Abstract
Ensuring that computationally designed molecules are chemically reasonable is at best cumbersome. We present a molecule correction algorithm that morphs invalid molecular graphs into structurally related valid analogs. The algorithm is implemented as a tree search, guided by a set of policies to minimize its cost. We showcase how the algorithm can be applied to molecular design, either as a post-processing step or as an integral part of molecule generators.

The scope of the journal encompasses papers which report new and original research and applications in the following areas:
- theoretical chemistry;
- computational chemistry;
- computer and molecular graphics;
- molecular modeling;
- protein engineering;
- drug design;
- expert systems;
- general structure-property relationships;
- molecular dynamics;
- chemical database development and usage.
