About Anti-Biofilm Peptide Predictor

This predictor helps the scientific community working in the fields of Quorum Sening (QS) and biofilm to get appropiate efficiency of a peptide to inhibit biofilm. Our predictor gives the percentage reduction in four ranges viz. not active, less than 50 %, between 51-90% and greater than 90%.

Not Active

Peptides that are unable to inhibit biofilm

Less than 50%

Peptides that can inhibit biofilm with percentage inhibition less than 50%

51 - 90%

Peptides having efficiency to inhibit biofilm with efficieny 51-90%

greater than 90%

Highly efficient anti-biofilm peptide with efficiency to inhibit biofilm greater than 90%

How to Interpret Results?

Result can be interpret by the "ABPpred prediction result page" as shown in the image below. The input sequences categorized in four categories: 1 (Not active), 2 (<50%), 3 (51-90%) and 4 (>90%).



Frequently Asked Questions



Q 1

What is anti-biofilm peptides (ABPs)?

These peptides are distinct group of antimicrobial or host defence peptides which are experimentally tested to be active against biofilms.

Q 2

Is there any computational tool to pedict inhibitory percentage of an ABP ?

There is no in silico tool available to predict inhibitory percentage of ABPs.

Q 3

How the data for developing the algorithm was collected ?

Total data of 179 non-reundant ABPs was collected from BaAMPs database.


Q 4

Which machine learning technique (MLT) used in developing this algorithm?

Support Vector Machine (SVM) multiclass classification technique with "one v/s one" approach used in this algorithm.
