Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a significant role in guiding drug design, advancing targeted therapies, and cancer treatment research. The function of peptides is highly associated with their three-dimensional structure. AMPs particularly favor alpha-helical structures, or alpha-folds, due to their ability to disrupt the protective layers that surround cells effectively and their structural stability. Existing classifiers mainly identify AMPs but overlook their structural fold which can provide valuable insights into their function. To address this limitation, we introduce an innovative multitask classifier that recognizes AMPs and predicts their alpha-helical
folds simultaneously. Our approach employs k-mers and Transformer networks for efficient, accurate multitask classification. Results on the datasets indicate comparable performance compared to single-task methods in half the time and complexity.
