OEGet2dPSA¶

float OEGet2dPSA(OEMolBase mol, OEFloatArray atomPSA, boolean SandP)
float OEGet2dPSA(OEMolBase mol, OEFloatArray atomPSA)
float OEGet2dPSA(OEMolBase mol)

Returns the topological polar surface area for a given molecule as described in the Polar Surface Area section. The SandP parameter controls whether sulfur and phosphorus should be counted towards the total surface area. See example in Figure: Example of depicting the atom contributions of the polar surface area.

Warning

TPSA values are mildly sensitive to the protonation state of a molecule.

The atomPSA parameter can be used to retrieve the contribution of each atom to the total polar surface area as shown in Listing 1.

Listing 1: Example of retrieving individual atom contributions to PSA

OEFloatArray atomPSA = new OEFloatArray(mol.GetMaxAtomIdx());
float psa = oemolprop.OEGet2dPSA(mol, atomPSA);

System.out.println("PSA = " + psa);
for (OEAtomBase atom : mol.GetAtoms()) {
    int idx = atom.GetIdx();
    System.out.println(idx + " " + atomPSA.getItem(idx));          
}
