StructRecon is a cheminformatics tool for automatically determining the structure of compounds from given database identifiers.

StructRecon traverses the cross-references between chemical databases in order to obtain a more complete view of the information available on any given compound. This allows StructRecon to resolve structures for database identifiers which may not directly contain the structure. In the case where the program finds multiple conflicting chemical structures, a random-walk based scoring algorithm is used to determine the most likely structure.

StructRecon is written in Python, and the source code is available at GitLab. It accompanies the paper
