## Abstract Knowledge of structural classes is useful in understanding of folding patterns in proteins. Although existing structural class prediction methods applied virtually all stateβofβtheβart classifiers, many of them use a relatively simple protein sequence representation that often includes

## Abstract The structural class is an important feature widely used to characterize the overall folding type of a protein. How to improve the prediction quality for protein structural classification by effectively incorporating the sequenceβorder effects is an important and challenging problem. Ba
Based on the concept that the structural class of a protein is mainly determined by its secondary structure sequence, a new algorithm for prediction of the structural class of a protein is proposed. By use of the number of -helices, -strands, and fragments, the structural class of a protein can be p
Since it was observed that the structural class of a protein is related to its amino acid composition, various methods based on amino acid composition have been proposed to predict protein structural classes. Though those methods are effective to some degree, their predictive quality is confined bec
