Target Targeted

Any protein whose function is believed to be clinically relevant and suitable for modulation by a drug can be considered a drug target. Targets may be grouped... 

Generally speaking, the ordnance designer works backwards from the target. Target effects translate to projectile parameters ie, mass, di-...

Under each molecule, the following information is included molecule name, MW, ClogP, the biological activity type, value and target. Target names are as follows D3 and D4 - dopaminergic receptor types 2 and 3 AChE and BChE - acetyl- and butyryl-choline esterases PRa and PRb - progesterone receptor types A and B H] and H3, histamine receptor types 1 and 3 5-HT2a, 5-HT2b, 5-HT2c, 5-HT3, 5-HT4 - serotonin receptor subtypes 2A, 2B, 2C, and types 3 and 4 DAT, NET, 5-HTT - dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin transporter proteins /X], /x.2, S, ki, ks - opioid receptor types mu-1, mu-2, delta, kappa-1 and kappa-3 5a-Rl and 5o -R2 - 5-alpha-reductase isozymes 1 and 2 Flt-1-fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor.

The efficient and immediate response to time critical targets (targets that move) has become increasingly important for an effective defense strategy.
