Atom properties

The formal definition of atom properties is given in chapter Chapter 2.

Atom in acceptor

Is this atom a hydrogen acceptor atom αacceptor(G,V,Achem|JOELib,kernelID). We used here the interpretation of Böhm/Klebe [bk02].

Atom in conjugated environment

Atom in conjugated environment αconj(G,V,Achem|JOELib,kernelID) [wfz04a,wfz04b,fwz04].

Conjugated electrotopological state

Conjugated electrotopological state [wz03,wfz04b].

Equation 5-7. Conjugated electrotopological state

Ii is the intrinsic state of atom i (the Section called Intrinsic topological state) and k the distance influence. The distance influence is reduced by the conjugated topological distance

Gasteiger-Marsili

Calculation of atom partial charges (Gasteiger-Marsili) αGM(G,V,Achem|JOELib,kernelID) [gm78]. The Partial Equalization of Orbital Electronegativities (PEOE) sigma charges of atoms can be calculated using an iterative algorithm. There exists a dependency between the electronegativity χi,A and the charge qA of an atom:

Equation 5-11. Orbital electronegativity based on atom charge

where i is the orbital and A the atom.

The algorithm requires the polynomial coefficients ai, bi, ci the damping factor α and the maximal number of iterations Nmax. Because the amount of charge transferred at each iteration is damped with an exponentially decreasing factor the convergence is guaranteed.

Graph potentials

Graph potentials αGP(G,V,Achem|JOELib,kernelID) [wy96] or rotational symmetry descriptor. Only the connection table is needed to calculate the external rotational symmetry, or topological equivalent atoms.

Equation 5-12. Graph potentials

where vi is the valence (vertex degree) of the atom i.

Intrinsic topological state

Intrinsic topological state αIstate(G,V,Achem|JOELib,kernelID) [tc00,wfz04b].

Equation 5-13. Intrinsic topological state

where Li is the principal quantum number, δiν is the number of valence electrons, and δi is the number of sigma electrons of the ith atom ai.
