Sequence–Activity Relationship of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides Derived from Food Proteins, Based on a New Deep Learning Model

Food-derived peptides are usually safe natural drug candidates that can potentially inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). The wet experiments used to identify ACE inhibitory peptides (ACEiPs) are time-consuming and costly, making it important and urgent to reduce the scope of experimental...

description Food-derived peptides are usually safe natural drug candidates that can potentially inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). The wet experiments used to identify ACE inhibitory peptides (ACEiPs) are time-consuming and costly, making it important and urgent to reduce the scope of experimental validation through bioinformatics methods. Here, we construct an ACE inhibitory peptide predictor (ACEiPP) using optimized amino acid descriptors (AADs) and long- and short-term memory neural networks. Our results show that combined-AAD models exhibit more efficient feature transformation ability than single-AAD models, especially the training model with the optimal descriptors as the feature inputs, which exhibits the highest predictive ability in the independent test (Acc = 0.9479 and AUC = 0.9876), with a significant performance improvement compared to the existing three predictors. The model can effectively characterize the structure–activity relationship of ACEiPs. By combining the model with database mining, we used ACEiPP to screen four ACEiPs with multiple reported functions. We also used ACEiPP to predict peptides from 21,249 food-derived proteins in the Database of Food-derived Bioactive Peptides (DFBP) and construct a library of potential ACEiPs to facilitate the discovery of new anti-ACE peptides.
