Machine Learning in Quantitative Protein-peptide Affinity Prediction: Implications for Therapeutic Peptide Design.

BACKGROUND
Protein-peptide recognition plays an essential role in the orchestration and regulation of cell signaling networks, which is estimated to be responsible for up to 40% of biological interaction events in the human interactome and has recently been recognized as a new and attractive druggable target for drug development and disease intervention.


METHODS
We present a systematic review on the application of machine learning techniques in the quantitative modeling and prediction of protein-peptide binding affinity, particularly focusing on its implications for therapeutic peptide design. We also briefly introduce the physical quantities used to characterize protein-peptide affinity and attempt to extend the content of generalized machine learning methods.


RESULTS
Existing issues and future perspective on the statistical modeling and regression prediction of protein- peptide binding affinity are discussed.


CONCLUSION
There is still a long way to go before establishment of general, reliable and efficient machine leaningbased protein-peptide affinity predictors.
