TPSA - Polar Surface Area
Polar surface area (PSA) is a very good descriptors of bioavailabilty. Some time ago we implemented a very efficient method to calculate PSA based on fragment contributions - therefore the abbreviation TPSA what means Topological Polar Surface Area. This method has become industry standard and has been implemented by all major software-houses and many pharmaceutical companies.
Fast Calculation of Molecular Polar Surface Area as a Sum of Fragment-Based Contributions and Its Application to the Prediction of Drug Transport Properties.

JME Molecular Editor
JME is a Java applet for creating and editing molecules, which I have written during my PhD at Comenius University Bratislava. Due to ease of use and small size the applet has become probably the most popular molecular input tool on the internet.
For more information see the JME HomePage.
For non-commercial applications the applet may be obtained at no cost.
