PepVAE: Variational Autoencoder Framework for Antimicrobial Peptide Generation and Activity Prediction

New methods for antimicrobial design are critical for combating pathogenic bacteria in the post-antibiotic era. Fortunately, competition within complex communities has led to the natural evolution of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) sequences that have promising bactericidal properties. Unfortunately, th...
