Drug Targets

Identification of drug targets in human (for disorder related disease, like cancer) and targets in pathogen (for pathogen associated disease) is crucial for designing medicine. In past, large number of in silico tools have been developed for identification of drug targets, following are major types; i) prediction of receptors (e.g., GPCR), ii) cytokines, iii) enzymes and iv) binders.
