Thank you very much for the detective work, Wim! This is helpful.

It looks like the _reverse_ transition is possible, though. If I start by
generating tautomers of "mol2", then "mol1" is recovered, which indicates
this is an allowed transform. Is it possible that one direction is allowed
but not the reverse?

Failing a solution there, does anyone know if it is possible to add SMIRKS
to the allowed tautomers through the python interface?
Thanks,
Lewis
