Key points from article :
Researchers developed an algorithm to test whether drugs are likely to undergo racemisation.
Racemisation creates mirror images of the chemical compounds.
One of these enantiomers may prevent certain drugs from binding in people's bodies.
Instead of having the desired effect, drugs can become less potent or have an adverse effect.
Prediction can identify problem molecules early in development to save money.
The study was published in the Angewandte Chemie journal.
