AtlasCBS: Atlas of Chemico-Biological Space
AtlasCBS is a novel concept to guide the drug discovery process.
The idea and the mathematical background were published in 2010
(Link).
The algebraic framework is based on two complementary ligand efficiency
indices (LEIs): BEI-like based on affinity per size, and SEI-like based
on polarity. These two variables are plotted in a Cartesian plane
SEI-like, x;
BEI-like, y;
This simple change in variables permits to examine at a
glance the combination of three variables, namely, affinity, size and
polarity and assess the efficiency of the compounds towards their target.
Examples and further details are given in a recently published paper:

Towards and Atlas-Guided Paradigm'

My colleagues (A. Cortes-Cabrera, A. Morreale, F. Gago) and I
encourage you to use the application and send us your comments
and suggestions about problems that you might encounter and ideas
for further improvements.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you so much,
Cele.
