Description

If you annotate a molecule with a C2 proper rotation axis we should have a function 'validate symmetry axis' which rotates the molecule around the proper rotation axis and check if its truly symmetric.

We could compute a score representing the distance from true symmetry.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that represents molecules, symmetry annotations, and proper rotation axes. Read how rotations are currently applied, then determine how a validation function could compare the rotated molecule with the original and report a symmetry-distance score. Done means an annotated C2 axis can be checked and the resulting accuracy score is exposed.
