SARS-CoV-2 peptide fragments selectively dysregulate specific immune cell populations via Gaussian curvature targeting.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Immune cell populations are dysregulated in COVID-19 for currently unknown reasons: Plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) populations are reduced, thus hampering antiviral responses. CD8 T cell populations are reduced, the level of which has emerged as a...

Design of Highly Potent Antibiofilm, Antimicrobial Peptides Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Antimicrobial peptides have emerged as a potential alternative to traditional small-molecule antimicrobials. They possess broad-spectrum efficacy and increasingly confront the challenges of bacterial resistance, especially the adaptive resistance of ...

Next-generation antifungal peptide discovery: the synergy of artificial intelligence and omics technologies.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology
There is a growing concern about fungal infections and antifungal resistance among fungal species, underscoring the need for finding alternative treatments. Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are interesting and promising candidates for developing novel anti...

The Use of DeepQSAR Models for the Discovery of Peptides with Enhanced Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Potential.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Increasing concerns regarding prolonged antibiotic usage have spurred the search for alternative treatments. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), first discovered in the 1980s, have exhibited significant potential against a broad range of bacteria. Short-s...

Coral-Derived Antimicrobial Peptides Identified In Silico from Acropora digitifera Transcriptomes: Potential Candidates Against Resistant Pathogens.

Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.)
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to global public health and requires new therapeutic approaches. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are recognized as promising candidates to address antimicrobial resistance. AMP can disrupt cell membranes by i...

DLFea4AMPGen de novo design of antimicrobial peptides by integrating features learned from deep learning models.

Nature communications
Deep learning models show promise in accelerating the design and optimization of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), but current methods face challenges, such as low success rates, or large virtual library scales. In this study, we introduce DLFea4AMPGen,...

Novel antimicrobial peptide HFIAP-1 mutant as a β-lactamase inhibitor against extended-spectrum β-lactamases of Escherichia coli: a comprehensive in-silico approach.

Archives of microbiology
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases in Escherichia coli poses a significant threat for clinicians in tertiary healthcare settings, rendering treatments ineffective with newer β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitors combinations. To overcome this, the present stud...

Deep Learning-Driven Discovery of Novel Antimicrobial Peptides from Large-Scale Protist Genomes and Experimental Characterization.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The escalating issue of antibiotic resistance has created an urgent global demand within the biomedical field for the discovery of novel antimicrobial molecules as alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Previous studies have reported the identifica...

From AI-Driven Sequence Generation to Molecular Simulation: A Comprehensive Framework for Antimicrobial Peptide Discovery.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are a promising strategy to address bacterial resistance, yet only a limited number have advanced to clinical trials. Recent advances in deep learning provide new opportunities for AMP design. Here, we propose an integra...

Human gut microbiota-derived antimicrobials against Salmonella Typhi: diversity, mechanisms, and therapeutic potential.

Archives of microbiology
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is a strictly human-restricted Gram-negative pathogen and the causative agent of typhoid fever, a major global health concern. Current treatment relies heavily on antibiotics, however, the rapid emergence ...
