Note: ENNAACT is a novel tool which employs neural networks for anticancer activity classification for therapeutic peptides doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.111051 Using a novel sequence-based deep neural network classifier to predict ACP ENNAACT is comparable to best-in-class, CV accuracy ~ 98.3%, Mathews correlation coefficient ~ 0.91, AUC ~ 0.95 https://research.timmons.eu/ennaact ACP 5-30 AA Often drive from host defence peptides (HDP ~ peptide against microbes) 3 mechanisms have been proposed in terms of killing cancer cells Cytoplasmic mb disruption via micellization or pore formation Induction of apoptosis via disruption of the mitochondrial mb (peptide entering the cells w/o cell mb disruptive?) Healthy cell vs cancer cells Healthy cells Zwitterionic cell mb Cancerous cells Cell mb ~ net negative charge, this is due to phosphatidylserine O-glycosylated mucins Sialylated ganglioside Heparin sulfate High cell surface area Increased membrane fluidity Most previous machine learning ...
