Druggability is the ability of a protein to bind to a drug-like molecule. This module aids to screen druggable targets in the input sequences based on their sequence similarity to known druggable targets.
Sequence similarity is computed by BLAST algorithm and the sequence information for 18002 druggable targets from Drugbank[1](Version 5.0),Therapeutic Target Database(TTD)[2] and ChEMBL[3] database.
