Abstract

"Anticancer Peptides (ACPs) offer significant potential as cancer treatment drugs in this modern era. Quickly identifying active compounds from protein sequences is crucial for healthcare and cancer treatment. In this paper ANNprob-ACPs, a novel and effective model for detecting ACPs has been implemented based on nine feature encoding techniques, including AAC, CC, W2V, DPC, PAAC, QSO, CTDC, CTDT, and CKSAAGP. After analyzing the performance of several machine learning models, the six best models were selected based on their overall performances in every evaluation metric. The probability scores of each model were subsequently aggregated and used as input of our meta- model, called ANNprob-ACPs. Our model outperformed all others and its potential to lead to phenomenal identification of ACPs. The results of this study showed notable improvement in 10-fold cross-validation and independent test, with accuracy of 93.72% and 90.62%, respectively. Our proposed model, ANNprob-ACPs outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and effectiveness in discovering ACPs. By using SHAP, this study obtained the physicochemical properties of QSO, and compositional properties of DPC, AAC, and PAAC are more impactful for our model's performances, which have a major impact on a drug's interactions and future discoveries. Consequently, this model is crucial for the future and has a high probability of detecting ACPs more frequently. We developed a web server of ANNprob-ACPs, which is accessible at
