What is a Bioactivity visualization map?

The Bioactivity visualizaton map (formerly known as Heatmap) view is available for all queries in substances, target and documents result pages. It initially provides an overview on structure activity relationship by displaying by default chemical substances (Y-axis) vs biological targets (X-axis) and activity potency as pX (Cells). These settings can be changed by clicking the settings button in the menu bar. While the Navigator button allows you to do a quick navigation and gives you an overview of the map.

The colors in the Legend Button and in the navigator panel refer to the potency of a substance:

• Blue shows low potency based on pX values.
• Red shows high potency based on pX values.
• A gray color refers to a qualitative results or parameters and values for which pX calculation is not designed for. (AUC, Vd, Clearance, etc.)
