Machine learning-enabled discovery and design of membrane-active peptides.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry
Antimicrobial peptides are a class of membrane-active peptides that form a critical component of innate host immunity and possess a diversity of sequence and structure. Machine learning approaches have been profitably employed to efficiently screen s...

Unveiling antimicrobial peptide-generating human proteases using PROTEASIX.

Journal of proteomics
UNLABELLED: Extracting information from peptidomics data is a major current challenge, as endogenous peptides can result from the activity of multiple enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes can display overlapping or complementary specificity. The activity spe...

Predicting antimicrobial peptides with improved accuracy by incorporating the compositional, physico-chemical and structural features into Chou's general PseAAC.

Scientific reports
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of the innate immune system that have been found to be effective against disease causing pathogens. Identification of AMPs through wet-lab experiment is expensive. Therefore, development of effic...

Resistance gene identification from Larimichthys crocea with machine learning techniques.

Scientific reports
The research on resistance genes (R-gene) plays a vital role in bioinformatics as it has the capability of coping with adverse changes in the external environment, which can form the corresponding resistance protein by transcription and translation. ...

Mapping membrane activity in undiscovered peptide sequence space using machine learning.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
There are some ∼1,100 known antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which permeabilize microbial membranes but have diverse sequences. Here, we develop a support vector machine (SVM)-based classifier to investigate ⍺-helical AMPs and the interrelated nature o...

Hybrid Network Model for "Deep Learning" of Chemical Data: Application to Antimicrobial Peptides.

Molecular informatics
We present a "deep" network architecture for chemical data analysis and classification together with a prospective proof-of-concept application. The model features a self-organizing map (SOM) as the input layer of a feedforward neural network. The SO...

Machine learning assisted design of highly active peptides for drug discovery.

PLoS computational biology
The discovery of peptides possessing high biological activity is very challenging due to the enormous diversity for which only a minority have the desired properties. To lower cost and reduce the time to obtain promising peptides, machine learning ap...

iAMPCN: a deep-learning approach for identifying antimicrobial peptides and their functional activities.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short peptides that play crucial roles in diverse biological processes and have various functional activities against target organisms. Due to the abuse of chemical antibiotics and microbial pathogens' increasing res...

Designing antimicrobial peptides using deep learning and molecular dynamic simulations.

Briefings in bioinformatics
With the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer promising options for replacing traditional antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, but discovering and designing AMPs using traditional methods is a time-cons...

Comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms on the microbial strain-specific AMP prediction.

Briefings in bioinformatics
The evolution of drug-resistant pathogenic microbial species is a major global health concern. Naturally occurring, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered promising candidates to address antibiotic resistance problems. A variety of computationa...
