Drug Discovery Facility
Here you are, at the Drug Discovery Facility. In this facility, your colleagues with an interest in chemistry, pharmacology and bioinformatics are continuously searching for new drug-target combinations. They get all excited by terms like specificity and activity, or bioavailability and stability. In the background, the humming noise of automated chemical synthesizers, robots handling 384-well plates and other undefined equipment of which you cannot even start to understand their function. Apparently, the facility has a coffee-break since nobody is around. That is a pity because you asked a bioinformatics colleague to search the genomic databases for proteins that might serve as targets for radiosensitizing drugs. Luckily, on your colleague's desk you find the following note with your name on it:
Hi, Here is the list of the potential drug targets that you asked for. I screened several databases and was able to narrow it down to 30 potential targets. Still way too many but I didn't have time to completely analyse all the targets on the list. Just look at the data yourself and pick the two most promising targets based on their characteristics. Regards! |
You decide to have a look at the list and select the two most promising targets. As suggested by your colleague, you send the names of these two targets to your colleague using the form below and wait for a response.
