Thanks for your guidance.
I looked that file,But I think the name of functional groups are different
in .rtp file because I can't find no one of them in this file.

please let me know how can I know the correct name f or functional groups
for example:HYDROXYL,CARBOXYL,HALO,AMINO and ...

Thanks in advance for your help
