Dear all,
I'm using openbabel to compare 2 molfiles. It tells me that the 2 molfiles
has different sp3 stereochemistry.
When I display the molfiles, they look exactly the same.
I have 2 questions:
1- Can 2 molecules with different sp3 stereochemistry be similar (how
significant is it for a chemist)?
2- If not, Why do they look the same when displayed?

I draw using http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/edit2/index.html
you can import the molfile and display it.

And here are the 2 molfiles:
