Abstract

Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequences and folding rates of proteins is an important task in computational and molecular biology. In this work, we have systematically analyzed the composition of amino acid residues for proteins with different ranges of folding rates. We observed that the polar residues, Asn, Gln, Ser, and Lys, are dominant in fast folding proteins whereas the hydrophobic residues, Ala, Cys, Gly, and Leu, prefer to be in slow folding proteins. Further, we have developed a method based on quadratic response surface models for predicting the folding rates of 77 two‐ and three‐state proteins. Our method showed a correlation of 0.90 between experimental and predicted protein folding rates using leave‐one‐out cross‐validation method. The classification of proteins based on structural class improved the correlation to 0.98 and it is 0.99, 0.98, and 0.96, respectively, for all‐α, all‐β, and mixed class proteins. In addition, we have utilized Baysean classification theory for discriminating two‐ and three‐state proteins, which showed an accuracy of 90%. We have developed a web server for predicting protein folding rates and it is available at http://bioinformatics.myweb.hinet.net/foldrate.htm. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2008

## Abstract The ability to predict protein folding rates constitutes an important step in understanding the overall folding mechanisms. Although many of the prediction methods are structure based, successful predictions can also be obtained from the sequence. We developed a novel method called pred
