Abstract

MOTIVATION: Therapeutic peptides play an important role in immune regulation. Recently various therapeutic peptides have been used in the field of medical research, and have great potential in the design of therapeutic schedules. Therefore, it is essential to utilize the computational methods to predict the therapeutic peptides. However, the therapeutic peptides cannot be accurately predicted by the existing predictors. Furthermore, chaotic datasets are also an important obstacle of the development of this important field. Therefore, it is still challenging to develop a multi-classification model for identification of therapeutic peptides and their types.
