## Abstract One of the most important challenges in computational and molecular biology is to understand the relationship between amino acid sequences and the folding rates of proteins. Recent works suggest that topological parameters, amino acid properties, chain length and the composition index r
## 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
A protein is composed of a linear chain of amino acids, called its primary structure. Each amino acid has a measured hydrophobicity that reflects its attraction to or repulsion from a water environment. Going along a protein's amino acid chain the hydrophobicity sequence is analogous to a discrete d
