In this study, we propose , a system that aims to computationally generate novel antiviral peptides (AVPs). This system relies on the key premise of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model and the Feedback method. GAN, a generative modeling ap...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short peptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. They play a key role in the host innate immunity of many organisms. The growing threat of microorganisms resistant to antimicrobial agents and the lack ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important for the human immune system and are currently applied in clinical trials. AMPs have been received much attention for accurate recognition. Recently, several computational methods for identifying AMPs have b...
The human gut microbiome encodes a large variety of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), but the short lengths of AMPs pose a challenge for computational prediction. Here we combined multiple natural language processing neural network models, including LST...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health concern prompting researchers to seek alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attracting attention again as therapeutic agents with promising utility in ...
By targeting invasive organisms, antibiotics insert themselves into the ancient struggle of the host-pathogen evolutionary arms race. As pathogens evolve tactics for evading antibiotics, therapies decline in efficacy and must be replaced, distinguish...

Quantifying the hemolytic activity of peptides is a crucial step in the discovery of novel therapeutic peptides. Computational methods are attractive in this domain due to their ability to guide wet-lab experimental discovery or screening of peptides...
Schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma mansoni, remains a significant public health burden, particularly in endemic regions with limited access to effective treatment. The emergence of resistance to praziquantel necessitates the urgent discovery of n...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides that widely exist in organisms to resist external microbial invasion and play a crucial role in the host's immune defense system. Owing to their functions of efficient broad-spectrum killing ...
