In this paper, we compare the most popular Atom-to-Atom Mapping (AAM) tools: ChemAxon, Indigo, RDTool, NameRXN (NextMove), and RXNMapper which implement different AAM algorithms. An open-source RDTool program was optimized, and its modified version ("new RDTool") was considered together with several consensus mapping strategies. The Condensed Graph of Reaction approach was used to calculate chemical distances and develop the "AAM fixer" algorithm for an automatized correction of erroneous mapping.

It is the sole library developed so far which can process condensed graph of reaction (CGR) handling. CGR provides the possibility for advanced operations with reaction information and could be used for reaction descriptor calculation, structure-reactivity modeling, atom-to-atom mapping comparison and correction, reaction center extraction, reaction balancing, and some other related tasks.
