ChEMBL protocols used to standardise and salt strip molecules. First used in ChEMBL 26.
Check the wiki and paper[1] for a detailed description of the different processes.

Check a compound (info)
The checker assesses the quality of a structure. It highlights specific features or issues in the structure that may need to be revised. Together with the description of the issue, the checker process returns a penalty score (between 0-9) which reflects the seriousness of the issue (the higher the score, the more critical is the issue)
