If I understand correctly, the SQT searches for possible matches of a
query pattern in a target structure.
>From that point of view two hits make a lot of sense: You have a
symmetrical cyclic molecule, so you get one hit for the expected
mapping, and one hit for the mirror-image mapping.

explanation in lovely ascii art:
provided molecule:
....n2--n3
.../........|
c1.........|
...\........|
....n5--n4

provided query:
..nB---nC
./........|
cA......|
.\........|
..nE---nD

match 1: (pairwise matching: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E)
...n2--n3
../........|
c1........|
..\........|
...n5--n4

match 2: (pairwise matching: 1A, 2E, 3D, 4C, 5B)
...n5--n4
../........|
c1........|
..\........|
...n2--n3

Cheers,

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
