# AmpGPT2

AmpGPT2 is a language model capable of generating de novo antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Over 95% of sequences generated by AmpGPT2 are predicted to have antimicrobial activities.

## Model description

AmpGPT2 is a fine-tuned version of [nferruz/ProtGPT2](https://huggingface.co/nferruz/ProtGPT2) based on the GPT2 Transformer architecture. 
| Model | sequences generated | AMP percentage (AMP%) | average length |
|:------------:|:-----------:|:-----------:|:-----------:|
| AmpGPT2| 1000 | 95.86| 64.08   |
| ProtGPT2| 1000 | 51.85 | 222.59 |

The results demonstrate that AmpGPT2 outperformes ProtGPT2 in AMP%, suggesting the model learned from the AMP-specific data.  
To validate the results the Antimicrobial Peptide Scanner vr.2 (https://www.dveltri.com/ascan/v2/ascan.html) was used, which is a deep learning tool specifically designed for AMP recognition.

## Training and evaluation data

AmpGPT2 was trained using 32014 AMP sequences from the Compass (https://compass.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/) database. 

## How to use AmpGPT2 

The example code below contains the ideal generation settings found while testing. 
The 'num_return_sequences' parameter specifies the amount of sequences generated. When generating more than 100 sequences at the same time, I recommend doing it in batches.
The results can then be checked with the peptide scanner.
```
from transformers import pipeline
from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer

ampgpt2 = pipeline('text-generation', model="wabu/AmpGPT2")

model_amp = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained('wabu/AmpGPT2')
tokenizer_amp = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('wabu/AmpGPT2')

amp_sequences = ampgpt2( "", do_sample=True, repetition_penalty=1.2, num_return_sequences=10, eos_token_id=0 )

for i, seq in enumerate(amp_sequences):
    sequence_identifier = f"Sequence_{i + 1}"
    sequence = seq['generated_text'].replace('','').strip()

    print(f">{sequence_identifier}\n{sequence}")
```
