#223 Stereochemistry not always shown
Sometimes the lack of stereochemistry being displayed in a ChEMBL structure will lead to a ridulous ChEMBL Name being generated and also make it impossible for the entry to be automatically merged with an existing ChEBI entry. E.g. the diagram for CHEBI:123129 shows no stereochem, with the result that it is given the ludicrous name "Phosphoric acid mono-[5-(2-amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-purin-9-yl)-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl] ester". The compound is in fact the very common guanosine 5'-monophosphate (aka GMP, CHEBI:17345) (which of course is already in ChEBI).

Discussion
This has also occurred in card 268379. Although this is a modified nucleoside, the implied stereochemistry has been omitted and hence a ludicrous long-winded name is generated.
