Abstract

Predicting peptide detectability is useful in a variety of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics applications, particularly targeted proteomics. However, most machine learning-based computational methods have relied solely on information from the peptide itself, such as its amino acid sequences or physicochemical properties, despite the fact that peptides detected by MS are dependent on many factors, including protein sample preparation, digestion, separation, ionization, and precursor selection during MS experiments. DbyDeep (Detectability by Deep learning) is an innovative end-to-end LSTM network model for peptide detectability prediction that incorporates sequence contexts of peptides and their cleavage sites (by protease). Utilizing the cleavage site contexts could improve the performance of prediction, and DbyDeep outperformed existing methods in predicting peptides recognizable from multiple MS/MS data sets with diverse species and MS instruments. We argue for the necessity of a learning model that encompasses several contexts associated with peptide detection, as opposed to depending just on peptide sequences. There is a Python implementation of DbyDeep at https://github.com/BISCodeRepo/DbyDeep.
