  • Antiviral peptides (AVPs) are a potential alternative strategy to explore new virus inhibiting candidates to control pathogenic viruses.
  • AVP-IC50Pred is a freely accessible regression based predictior of peptide antiviral activity in terms of half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50)
  • Developed using peptides with quantitative and experimentally proven antiviral activity from AVPdb -Database of Antiviral Peptides. and HIPdb -Database of HIV inhibiting peptides.
  • We have also utilized important features like amino acid composition, binary and physicochemical properties etc. for model development.
  • Multiple machine learning algorithms (SVM, Random Forest, IBk and K*) employed.
  • Highly user friendly web interface.
  • Additional analysis tools including Database scanning, BLAST, Map, Fragment, and Peptide properties calculator have also been included.
  • It would be helpful to researchers working on peptide based antiviral therapeutics development.
