Cover Illustration: The cover image shows the inhibitory activity of compounds against aromatase, a critical hormoneprocessing enzyme in many organisms. Each point represents one compound. Green and yellow colors indicate highly weak or micromolar activity, red points represent strong activity, and purple points indicate single-digit nanomolar activity or stronger. Compounds are positioned by relative distance using multi-dimensional scaling. Activity cliffs can be seen where large changes in activity occur between closely spaced compounds, which are often analogs.
