Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The significant correlation between protein folding rates and the sequence-predicted secondary structure suggests that folding rates are largely determined by the amino acid sequence. Here, we present a method for predicting the folding rates of proteins from sequences using the intrinsic properties of amino acids, which does not require any information on secondary structure prediction and structural topology. The contribution of residue to the folding rate is expressed by the residue's Omega value. For a given residue, its Omega depends on the amino acid properties (amino acid rigidity and dislike of amino acid for secondary structures). Our investigation achieves 82% correlation with folding rates determined experimentally for simple, two-state proteins studied until the present, suggesting that the amino acid sequence of a protein is an important determinant of the protein-folding rate and mechanism.
