What is it about?
Drug Target Interactions (DTIs) are crucial in drug discovery as it reduces the range of candidate searches for medicines, speeding up the drug screening process. Since, traditional experiments are time and money expensive, we aim to develop a computational technique to reduce predicting DTIs which can act as a good decision drivers during the early stages of drug discovery .

Why is it important?
In our method we aim at predicting DTIs using Molecular substructure fingerprints and Position Specific Scoring Matrix(PSSM) of drugs and targets respectively. We proposed a technique to handle imbalance in our datasets which retrieves informative samples, helping in the boosting the performance of DTI prediction
Perspectives
I hope this article provides people with the understanding of what drug-target interactions are and how they re related to drug discovery process. I believe that using computational method to speed it up would be thought-provoking to the readers.
