```
com.chemaxon.search.transformation.AtomIndexMapper transform(Molecule mol)
                                                      throws com.chemaxon.search.transformation.TransformationException
```
    Transforms a Molecule. The molecule object is changed during the transformation, the mappings between old and new atom indexes are returned by the transformation.
    TODO: revise this interface, do we really want to force implementations to change the input molecule rather than return a one?
    
    Parameters:
    
    mol - the molecule
    
    Returns:
    
    AtomIndexMapper between old and new atom indexes
    
    Throws:
    
    com.chemaxon.search.transformation.TransformationException - if there is an error during the transformation
