Why are so many proteins considered undruggable?

Most drugs take hold of crevices or pockets in a protein’s structure. Not all proteins have binding pockets that are accessible or even static.

Without an identifiable pocket, the industry struggles to develop a small molecule therapy that can latch on and change the course of the disease – making the protein target “undruggable.”
