Show abstract
During the last three decades, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative to antibiotics. The approaches for designing AMPs span from experimental trial-and-error methods to synthetic hybrid peptide libraries. To overcome the exceedingly expensive and time-consuming process of designing effective AMPs, many computational and machine-learning tools for AMP prediction have been recently developed. In general, to encode the peptide sequences, featurization in these rely on approaches based on (a) amino acid composition, (b) physicochemical properties, (c) sequence similarity, and (d) structural properties. In this work, we present an image-based deep neural network model to predict AMPs, where we are using feature encoding based on Drude polarizable force-field atom types, which can capture the peptide properties more efficiently compared to conventional feature vectors. The proposed prediction model identifies AMPs with promising accuracy and efficiency and can be used as a next-generation screening method for predicting new AMPs. The source code is publicly available at the Figshare server sAMP-VGG16.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
