Overview

Machine learning models are increasingly used to predict peptide properties, optimize sequences, and accelerate discovery pipelines.

Key Approaches

  • Supervised learning: QSAR models for activity prediction
  • Deep learning: Sequence-to-property neural networks
  • Generative models: VAEs and GANs for novel sequences
  • Reinforcement learning: Multi-objective optimization

Applications

  • Antimicrobial peptide activity prediction
  • Cell-penetrating peptide efficiency
  • MHC binding affinity prediction
  • Peptide stability and half-life optimization

Challenges

Limited training data, sequence diversity, and the gap between in silico predictions and experimental validation remain challenges.
