Figure 4.
Elevated (n = 54) and decreased metabolites (n = 46) are largely separable by four physicochemical properties. (A) Water-octanol partition coefficient (molLogP) is higher in the decreased compounds, indicating more hydrophobic compounds. (B) Molecular weight (molWeight) is higher in decreased compounds. (C) Complexity, as calculated by Pubchem, is higher in decreased compounds. (D) Number of rotatable bonds (nof_RotB) is higher in decreased compounds, indicating that the decreased compounds are less rigid. Box plots include the median (central line), lower quartile (lower limit of box), upper quartile (upper limit of box), max value (upper limit of whisker), and minimum value (lower limit of whisker). Each metabolite in this set is represented by an individual point.
