## 📊 Other Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
|----------|--------|---------|
| `/health` | GET | Check API status |
| `/api/v1/model-status` | GET | Check AI model info |
| `/api/v1/disease-targets` | POST | Get disease targets |
| `/api/v1/protein-sequences` | POST | Get protein sequences |
| `/api/v1/drug-library` | GET | Get drug library |

---

## 🔍 Check Status

```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/health
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/model-status
```

---

## ⚙️ Configuration

Edit `app/config.py` to adjust:
- `MAX_DRUGS_FOR_DEMO`: Number of drugs to screen
- `MAX_TARGETS`: Number of disease targets
- `BATCH_SIZE`: Optimization for GPU/CPU

---

## 🆘 Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| API won't start | Ensure Python 3.10+ installed |
| DeepPurpose missing | `pip install git+https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.git` |
| GPU not detected | Install PyTorch CUDA: `pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121` |
| Slow predictions | System uses CPU - GPU dramatically faster |
| No API docs | Visit http://localhost:8000/docs |

---

## 📈 Performance

| Config | Speed | Throughput |
|--------|-------|-----------|
| GPU | ~5s | 1,200 pairs/sec |
| CPU | ~30s | 67 pairs/sec |
