I’ve opened GitHub issue #5100 proposing a new module, Bio.SeqUtils.PeptideDescriptors, to compute advanced descriptors for amino acid sequences (e.g., Kidera, Atchley, FASGAI). These are widely used in QSAR modelling, anticancer peptide screening, and clustering;
however, Biopython currently supports only basic properties, such as molecular weight and pI.</div>

I’d be happy to prototype this with unit tests and documentation if there’s interest. Would others find this useful, and are there particular descriptor sets you’d prioritise?</div>
