3. 7. Benchmarking Machine Learning Methods for Peptide Activity Predictions

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Boel Knutson; Lida Meskini Moudi; [2022-10-14]
   Keywords : Drug discovery; peptide; classification; molecular representation; Z-scales; pseudo amino acid composition; one-hot representation; random forests; support vector machines;

   Abstract : One of the main challenges in the drug discovery process is to find a suitable compound for further analysis. The compound must affect the target relevant for the specific disease, while at the same time have desired properties to make it a safe and efficient drug candidate. READ MORE

4. 8. Greening peptide chemistry by using NBP as solvent for SPPS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Andrea Ölander; [2022]
   Keywords : SPPS; Green chemistry; Peptide Synthesis; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). READ MORE

5. 9. Identification of Immunological Targets for Brain Cancer Immunotherapy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Zhenda Wang; [2022]
   Keywords : Cancer immunotherapy; brain cancer; neoantigen; MHC HLA; TCR;

   Abstract : Background Cancer immunotherapy has yielded many successes. Yet to some hard-to-treat brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), it still lacks substantial improvement. Neoantigens resulting from mutations in malignant cells are the key targets for employing adoptive cell therapies. READ MORE

6. 10. Classification of sequence tags from tandem mass spectrometry spectra using machine learning models

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Júlia Ortís Sunyer; [2022]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Motivation: Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins found in a cell, tissue or organism. In the last few years, and thanks to the development of mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, proteomics has led the research in several fields, ranging from medicine to agriculture. READ MORE
