Abstract
Recent advancements in biomaterial research conduct artificial intelligence for predicting diverse material properties. However, research predicting the mechanical properties of biomaterial based on amino acid sequences have been notably absent. This research pioneers the use of classification models to predict ultimate tensile strength from silk fiber amino acid sequences, employing logistic regression, support vector machines with various kernels, and a deep neural network (DNN). Remarkably, the model demonstrates a high accuracy of 0.83 during the generalization test. The study introduces an innovative approach to predicting biomaterial mechanical properties beyond traditional experimental methods. Recognizing the limitations of conventional linear prediction models, the research emphasizes the future trajectory toward DNNs that can adeptly capture non-linear relationships with high precision. Moreover, through comprehensive performance comparisons among diverse prediction models, the study offers insights into the effectiveness of specific models for predicting the mechanical properties of certain materials. In conclusion, this study serves as a pioneering contribution, laying the groundwork for future endeavors and advocating for the seamless integration of AI methodologies into materials research.
