Abstract: AbstractMultidimensional scaling is a technique for visualization of multidimensional data. In this paper pharmacological data are visualized using multidimensional scaling for the visual analysis of properties of adrenoceptors (which form a class of G-protein-coupled receptors) and ligands. The aim of visualization is to provide useful information for prediction of structural features of proteins and drug design. For the implementation of a multidimensional scaling technique a difficult global optimization problem should be solved. To attack such a problem a hybrid global optimization method is used, where an evolutionary global search is combined with a local descent.
