About this document
STD Drug Target Database Overview by Prasanna Babu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the creation of a database of putative drug targets for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Researchers identified drug target proteins in STD pathogens through comparative genomics. They filtered for non-homologous proteins not found in humans, essential proteins, and proteins involved in unique metabolic pathways of the pathogens. This yielded 44 membrane-associated drug target candidates. The targets were annotated with functional and structural information and compiled into a p
