Prediction of antimicrobial peptides toxicity based on their physico-chemical properties using machine learning techniques

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides are promising tools to fight against ever-growing antibiotic resistance. However, despite many advantages, their toxicity to mammalian cells is a critical obstacle in clinical application and needs to be addressed. Results In this study, by using an up-to-d...
