That problem has no known polynomial-time solution (graph isomorphism), although GDB&amp;#x27;s low node count mitigates the problem. It&amp;#x27;s not just the low vertex count that makes this an easier problem than general GI. The state of the art GI algorithm for general graphs runs in quasipolynomial time 2^{O((log n)^c)}, with c=3 claimed. [0] However, structural constraints implied by chemical plausibility should (probably[1]) usefully limit the class of graphs that need be considered to those of bounded treewidth.
