Description

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Hydrogels maintain great potential for biomedical applications. However, predicting whether a chemical can form a hydrogel simply based on its chemical structure remains challenging. In this study, we developed a combinational approach to obtain a structurally diverse hydrogel library with over 2,000 peptides as a training dataset for machine learning. We calculated their chemical features, including topological and physicochemical properties, and utilized machine learning methods to predict the self-assembly behavior.</jats:p>
