Algorithms to analyze the action potential peak shape differences are used to indicate the pathway(s) affected by the presence of a new drug or compound; from that aspects of its function , in that cell are deduced. This observation can be exploited to determine the functional category of biochemical action of an unknown compound. An important aspect of …
