Abstract
Background: Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have received considerable attention as a means of transporting pharmacologically active molecules into living cells without damaging the cell membrane, and thus hold great promise as future therapeutics. Recently, several machine learning-based algorithms have been proposed for predicting CPPs. However, most existing predictive methods do not consider the agreement (disagreement) between similar (dissimilar) CPPs and depend heavily on expert knowledge-based handcrafted features.
Results: In this study, we present SiameseCPP, a novel deep learning framework for automated CPPs prediction. SiameseCPP learns discriminative representations of CPPs based on a well-pretrained model and a Siamese neural network consisting of a transformer and gated recurrent units. Contrastive learning is used for the first time to build a CPP predictive model. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed SiameseCPP is superior to existing baseline models for predicting CPPs. Moreover, SiameseCPP also achieves good performance on other functional peptide datasets, exhibiting satisfactory generalization ability.
