Project Objective


  • Solve the problems of scattered data and inconsistent formats in the antimicrobial peptide database, and establish a high-quality unified data set.
  • Develop the SPADE screening platform to achieve precise screening of multi-dimensional (toxicity, stability, target organisms, etc.) antimicrobial peptides.
  • Optimize the data structure to facilitate the input of machine learning models and intelligent analysis.

Data Design


  • Select mainstream databases: LAMP, APD3, DRAMP, DBAASP.
  • Unified data format: Use the DRAMP data structure as the standard template.
  • Key field optimization: "Hemolytic Activity" and "Target Organism" are converted from nested dictionaries to flat strings or structured lists.
  • Design a unique identification system: Generate a SPADE ID for each peptide segment to ensure data traceability.

Platform Design


  • Front-end: User-friendly interface, supporting multi-dimensional filter condition input.
  • Back end: Supports efficient data query, API call and batch processing.
  • Database: Supports structured storage and dynamic expansion. Later, it will support the integration of UniProt and PubMed information.
