Uncovering Key Characteristics of Antibacterial Peptides through Machine Learning

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 12, 22 June 2026.
Machine‐learning (ML) techniques using random forest classification models revealed key characteristics that predict effective antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) targeting Gram‐negative bacteria, Gram‐positive bacteria, and mycobacteria. The ideal cLogP (<$ < $−6) and net‐charge (≤+4) threshold was the same for all three targets with variations in the ...
