Abstract

The results of neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) enzyme inhibition assays are commonly expressed as 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) fold-change values and presented graphically in box plots (box-and-whisker plots). An alternative and more informative type of graph is the kernel density plot, which we propose should be the preferred one for this purpose. In this paper we discuss the limitations of box plots and the advantages of the kernel density plot, and we present NAIplot, an opensource web application that allows convenient creation of density plots specifically for visualizing the results of NAI enzyme inhibition assays, as well as for general purposes.
