Table 1.

Average values of properties calculated with PepFun for the datasets of peptides associated to the MHC class II protein and the Granzyme B protease. We report the average net charge based on pka values of each amino acid at pH 7, the molecular weight calculated in g/mol using the SMILES representation of the peptide, the Crippen estimation of the octanol/water partition coefficient (logP) available in the RDKit [24], the average hydrophobicity from the Eisenberg scale [23], the isoelectric point and aromaticity obtained from the ProtParam package [9], the instability index from ProtParam as an estimate of the stability of the peptide in a test tube [9], the number of hydrogen bond acceptors and donors calculated using the SMILES representation, and the number of failed solubility and synthesis empirical rules [26]. We note that the higher the number of rules violated, the lower the probability to be solubilized or synthesized experimentally.
