    Protein Classification
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) Asad Aziz Khan
    There has been a lot of significance of proteins and peptides in the world of medical science recently. Ranging for curing terminal diseases to simply having a healthy lifestyle. The main task or challenge at hand when handling proteins or peptides sequences is to classify them in the right category. There are various types of encoding schemes for protein and peptide sequences that need to be depicted in order to understand the true nature of the sequence. A lot of mathematic formulas can help us extract different types of feature descriptions. Anticancer peptides (ACPs) have proved to be promising in recent years to tackle cancer cells inside the human body, with little to no adverse effects like the chemical drugs on the normal cells. These types of peptides can be identified promptly through an in silico approach [1]. This approach will save a lot of time and money for the classification of peptides compared to an in-vivo [2] approach. In this research we will be conducting an ensemble approach to identify these peptides using different sequential features and physiochemical properties. The dataset is collected from the iDACP website [3].
