Your best option would be to look here:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jcc.20035

But, assuming that by TMAO you mean Trimethylamine N-oxide:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethylamine_N-oxide

My *guesses* would be:
 * sp3 nitrogen with 4 substituents: ==> n4
 * What looks like and oxygen in a hydroxyl group ==> oh
