Abstract

BACKGROUND: Anticancer peptides are defence substances with innate immune functions that can selectively act on cancer cells without harming normal cells and many studies have been conducted to identify anticancer peptides. In this paper, we introduce the anticancer peptide secondary structures as additional features and propose an effective computational model, CL-ACP, that uses a combined network and attention mechanism to predict anticancer peptides.
