| description | Cancer treatment is a challenging endeavor because of the intricacy, heterogeneity, and diversity of cancer causes. Comprehensive therapeutic approaches are crucial for cancer treatment. Anticancer peptides (ACPs) present a potentially effective therapeutic option. However, the extensive identification and synthesis of these peptides present a persistent difficulty that calls for the creation of effective prediction techniques. Existing techniques either suffer from low accuracy or employ high-dimensional feature sets, frequently producing sparse features and leading to ineffective model designs. This work presents a novel set of features and a long-short-term-memory (LSTM)-based classification strategy to create an efficient model. The suggested feature set includes three new and two modern feature extraction methods. The binary profile feature and k-mer sparse matrix of the reduced amino acid alphabet are part of the modern feature set. The combination of the composition of the K-spaced side chain pairs (CKSSCP), the composition of the K-spaced electrically charged side chain pairs (CKSECSCP), and the combination of [pk(CO2H)] + [pk(NH2)] + [pk(R)] + [isoelectric point] is used to derive the novel features. The suggested LSTM model is trained using the combined feature set. The trials are carried out with a k-fold cross-validation method on benchmark datasets. The results indicate that the proposed model outperforms alternative ACP classification techniques in terms of Mathew’s correlation coefficient (MCC) and accuracy. The ACP740 dataset with 5-folds yields an MCC score of 75%, which is 12%, 11%, 3%, and 8% greater than those of the ACP-DL, ACP-DA, ACP-MHCNN, and ACP-KSRC approaches, respectively. For the ACP344 dataset with 10-folds, the proposed method achieves an MCC score of 85.14%, which is 23% and 2% higher than the MCC scores of ACP-DL and SAP methods, respectively. Better classification performance offered by the proposed approach could help identify new ACPs and better understand their structural and chemical characteristics.
