post is not about pharma specifically, but about general bio-medical literature, including genes, diseases, symptoms, etc.

> proteins make up more than 95% of the targets of the pharmaceutical industry.

do you have references to support this? Some google search says it is 280B market out of 1.5T total pharma market: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/protein-therapeutics-ma... https://www.statista.com/topics/1764/global-pharmaceutical-i...

Also, it is likely important steps how to research and produce protein drugs, but the end target is to cure diseases, so you need lots of additional data about diseases of all types, symptoms, pathways, trials, etc.
