Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising class of antimicrobial drugs due to their broad-spectrum activity against microorganisms. However, their clinical application is limited by their potential to cause hemolysis, the destruction of red blood cells. To address this issue, we propose a deep learning model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for predicting the hemolytic activity of AMPs. Peptide sequences are represented using one-hot encoding, and the CNN architecture consists of multiple convolutional and fully connected layers. The model was trained on six different datasets: HemoPI-1, HemoPI-2, HemoPI-3, RNN-Hem, Hlppredfuse, and AMP-Combined, achieving Matthew’s correlation coefficients of 0.9274, 0.5614, 0.6051, 0.6142, 0.8799, and 0.7484, respectively. Our model outperforms previously reported methods and can facilitate the development of novel AMPs with reduced hemolytic
