Multitarget drug discovery projects in CNS diseases: quantitative systems pharmacology as a possible path forward.

abstract：:The bromodomain proteins, known as the key targets in epigenetics, are 'readers' of acetylated lysine of histones. As a member of bromodomain proteins, bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) is a subunit of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes. However, the biological functions and the potential applicati...
