DeepACP: A Novel Computational Approach for Accurate Identification of Anticancer Peptides by Deep Learning Algorithm.


ABSTRACT: Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases to human health. The accurate prediction of anticancer peptides (ACPs) would be valuable for the development and design of novel anticancer agents. Current deep neural network models have obtained state-of-the-art prediction accuracy for the ACP classification task. However, based on existing studies, it remains unclear which deep learning architecture achieves the best performance. Thus, in this study, we first present a systematic exploration of three important deep learning architectures: convolutional, recurrent, and convolutional-recurrent networks for distinguishing ACPs from non-ACPs. We find that the recurrent neural network with bidirectional long short-term memory cells is superior to other architectures. By utilizing the proposed model, we implement a sequence-based deep learning tool (DeepACP) to accurately predict the likelihood of a peptide exhibiting anticancer activity. The results indicate that DeepACP outperforms several existing methods and can be used as an effective tool for the prediction of anticancer peptides. Furthermore, we visualize and understand the deep learning model. We hope that our strategy can be extended to identify other types of peptides and may provide more assistance to the development of proteomics and new drugs.
