Appendix C. Table of probe types

This is a table of JTYPE values which may be used in order to describe the hydrogen bonding geometry of the probe

   JTYPE  General Description    Number of H-bonds   Optimal angle
   Value       of Probe          Donated  Accepted   between bonds
									
    2     Planar NH2                2                     120 
    3     sp3 NH3 etc.              3                     109 
    4     sp3 hydroxyl.             1         2           109 
    8     sp2 carbonyl.                       2           120 
   22     sp3 NH2 piperidine        2                     109 
   28     Ether oxygen                        2           109 
   34     Phenol hydroxy OH         1         1           120 
   34     OH in carboxy COOH        1         1           120 
   51     sp3 NH:                   1         1           109 
   64     Phosphate oxygen                    2           109 
   74     Flat fluorine                       2           120 
   82     sp3 NH2 ethylamine        2         1           109 
   83     sp3 NH3 etc.              3                     109 
   84     sp3 hydroxyl.             1         2           109 
   88     Phenolate O                         2           120 
   91     The Hydrophobic Probe 
   92     The Amphipathic Probe 
   95     Water                     2         2           109 
   96     Water                     2         2           109 
   110-114 These Probes are metal cations 

Note that more than one JTYPE value may be provided for the same chemical group. Thus types 3 and 83 define the same Probe type, and so do types 4 and 84, and types 95 and 96.

Note also that the same value of JTYPE may be used for different chemical groups. In the above table type 34 is shown twice as an example of this. Type 34 can be either a phenolic or a carboxy OH group, and these two Probes would be distinguished by their other properties. The JTYPE value only defines the hydrogen-bonding geometry of the Probe.

Note that the oxygen with JTYPE=64 is not an sp3 ester oxygen joining a phosphate group to the remainder of its molecule, but an oxygen which is bonded to only one atom (e.g.: to the phosphorus of phosphate; arsenic of arsenate).

Note finally that 91, 92 and 110-119 are special Types.
