Value of the data
  • Obesity declared as a disease by WHO and is the main cause of other many metabolic disorders which lead to mortality.

  • Literature explains multiple mechanisms involved in energy uptake and energy consumption, the control of which can help in maintaining energy balance and thus keeping obesity at large.

  • This article provides all dataset of protein structures to explore potential targets for obesity.

  • In-silico exploration of targets is the first step in drug design to understand the underlying mechanism of action of the identified drug molecule.

  • Many herbal medicines and food supplements are found to be beneficial in reducing body weight, although mode of action and identification of marker phytoconstituents is still not explored.

  • Docking of phytoconstituents to seven identified targets for obesity can pave a way towards identification of novel anti-obesity drug.
