AI4AMP: Sequence-based antimicrobial peptides predictor using physicochemical properties-based encoding method and deep learning
MotivationAntimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are innate immune components that have aroused a great deal of interest among drug developers recently, as they may become a substitution for antibiotics. However, AMPs discovery through traditional wet-lab research is expensive and inefficient. Thus, we developed AI4AMP, a user-friendly web-server that provides an accurate prediction of the antimicrobial activity of a given protein sequence, to accelerate the process of AMP discovery. ResultsOur results show that our prediction model is superior to the existing AMP predictors.
