AmpClass: an Antimicrobial Peptide Predictor Based on Supervised Machine Learning.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
In the last decades, antibiotic resistance has been considered a severe problem worldwide. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are molecules that have shown potential for the development of new drugs against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Nowadays, medicin...

PepNet: an interpretable neural network for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial peptides prediction using a pre-trained protein language model.

Communications biology
Identifying anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is crucial for the discovery of innovative and effective peptide-based therapies targeting inflammation and microbial infections. However, accurate identification of AIPs...

Discovery of AMPs from random peptides via deep learning-based model and biological activity validation.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
The ample peptide field is the best source for discovering clinically available novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to address emerging drug resistance. However, discovering novel AMPs is complex and expensive, representing a major challenge. Recent ...

Machine Learning-Driven Discovery and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Peptides from Mucus Proteome.

Marine drugs
Marine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising source for combating infections, especially against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and traditionally challenging infections. However, traditional drug discovery methods face challenges such a...

Protein Language Models and Machine Learning Facilitate the Identification of Antimicrobial Peptides.

International journal of molecular sciences
Peptides are bioactive molecules whose functional versatility in living organisms has led to successful applications in diverse fields. In recent years, the amount of data describing peptide sequences and function collected in open repositories has s...

Deep mutational scanning and machine learning for the analysis of antimicrobial-peptide features driving membrane selectivity.

Nature biomedical engineering
Many antimicrobial peptides directly disrupt bacterial membranes yet can also damage mammalian membranes. It is therefore central to their therapeutic use that rules governing the membrane selectivity of antimicrobial peptides be deciphered. However,...

AI-guided few-shot inverse design of HDP-mimicking polymers against drug-resistant bacteria.

Nature communications
Host defense peptide (HDP)-mimicking polymers are promising therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics and have large-scale untapped potential. Artificial intelligence (AI) exhibits promising performance on large-scale chemical-content design, however, ...

deepAMPNet: a novel antimicrobial peptide predictor employing AlphaFold2 predicted structures and a bi-directional long short-term memory protein language model.
