  1. Most drug targets are present in the binary (B) subset, while the n-ary (N) and spoke-represented n-ary data (S) subsets have around half of them. This might simply be due to the size of each subset, given that the ratio of drug targets to proteins per subset is similar. The average degree of the B subset is higher in comparison to the values for the N and S subsets, suggesting that the B subset may be a candidate to display a correlation between drug targets and high protein degree.
