RNA editing offers promise for target-based drug discovery, particularly with proteins and interfaces that play central roles in the pathogen's life cycle. This study introduces an integrative drug target identification workflow combining information from the PPI network, PPI 3D structure, and reside-level information of their interface which can be applicable to diverse pathogens. In the case of T. brucei, via this pipeline, the present study suggested potential drug targets with residue-resolution from RNA editing machinery. However, experimental validation is needed to fully realize its potential in advancing urgently needed antiparasitic drug development.
