Background: human genome revealed great deal the human proteome, though significant portions the genome remain understudied. Only subset expressed proteins demonstrate requisite properties serve targets the development therapeutics. bona fide drug targets likely remain be discovered the Druggable Genome” DG), can defined a subset the 20,000 protein-coding genes the human genome have potential bind drug-like molecules. term drug-like" refers the physical, biochemical, pharmacological attributes small molecule compounds are generally recognized be required efficacious clinical drugs humans.
