Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in human beings. While traditional cancer treatments kill cancerous cells, they negatively affect normal cells. In addition, the side effects and high medical costs of treatment prevent effective management of cancer. Nonetheless, anticancer peptides have gained popularity over the recent years as potential therapeutic agents that may complement traditional therapies. Compared to conventional wet-lab experiments, computation-based methods provide a promising platform for high-throughput identification of peptides that have anticancer activity. Therefore, this review summarizes the currently available databases for anticancer peptides/proteins. This is a survey of 22 recently published in-silico methods that aim to predict anticancer peptides accurately. More specifically, the article details the benchmark datasets, feature construction, feature selection, machine learning algorithms, assessment criteria, comparison of different methods, and publicly available predictors. We also compare the prediction performance of these predictors to the benchmark dataset. Finally, the study makes several recommendations concerning the future development of databases for anticancer peptides and methods that can be used to predict anticancer peptides.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
