The application relates to the field of biological information and discloses a toxic protein library construction method, device, equipment and medium. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a common peptide structure corresponding to a confirmed toxic protein sequence, and constructing a target toxic protein core peptide set capable of covering a key functional domain of the confirmed toxic protein sequence based on function performance characteristic data and fluctuation trend characteristic data of the common peptide structure. The target toxic protein core peptide set is used for function screening of a to-be-recognized protein sequence in a function characteristic domain, so that an intermediate protein sequence needing to be verified whether it meets a toxicity characteristic is obtained, toxicity screening of the intermediate protein sequence in a toxicity characteristic domain is performed, and the intermediate protein sequence meeting the toxicity characteristic is determined as a target toxic protein sequence. Finally, a toxic protein database is constructed by using the target toxic protein sequence. Thus, a toxic protein library construction method with a wide coverage range which can discover new toxic proteins and detect low-abundance toxic proteins is realized through a two-level screening mode combining function screening and toxicity screening.
