In J. Med. Chem., 2000, 43 (20), pp 3714–3717, Ertl et al. propose the calculation of two polar surface area values, the first reports the PSA for Nitrogen and Oxygen atoms only, the second also includes Sulfur and Phosphorus in the calculation.
The default TPSA model in StarDrop is the first of these models, including only N and O. This was chosen based on feedback from users. However, we have also created a StarDrop model for the more general model for those who wish to use this definition.
