Antimicrobial Peptides Prediction method based on sequence multidimensional feature embedding

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are alkaline substances with efficient bactericidal activity produced in living organisms. As the best substitute for antibiotics, they have been paid more and more attention in scientific research and clinical application. AMPs can be produced from almost all organisms and are capable of killing a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms. In addition to being antibacterial, natural AMPs have many other therapeutically important activities, such as wound healing, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects. To discover new AMPs, the use of wet experimental methods is expensive and difficult, and bioinformatics technology can effectively solve this problem. Recently, some deep learning methods have been applied to the prediction of AMPs and achieved good results. To further improve the prediction accuracy of AMPs, this paper designs a new deep learning method based on sequence multidimensional representation. By encoding and embedding sequence features, and then inputting the model to identify AMPs, high-precision classification of AMPs and Non-AMPs with lengths of 10–200 is achieved. The results show that our method improved accuracy by 1.05% compared to the most advanced model in independent data validation without decreasing other indicators.
