Predicting protein folding rate from amino acid sequence is an important challenge in computational and molecular biology. Over the past few years, many methods have been developed to reflect the correlation between the folding rates and protein structures and sequences. In this paper, we present an effective method, a combined neural network — genetic algorithm approach, to predict protein folding rates only from amino acid sequences, without any explicit structural information. The originality of this paper is that, for the first time, it tackles the effect of sequence order. The proposed method provides a good correlation between the predicted and experimental folding rates. The correlation coefficient is 0.80 and the standard error is 2.65 for 93 proteins, the largest such databases of proteins yet studied, when evaluated with leave-one-out jackknife test. The comparative results demonstrate that this correlation is better than most of other methods, and suggest the important contribution of sequence order information to the determination of protein folding rates.

Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequences and folding rates of proteins is an important challenge in computational and molecular biology. All existing algorithms for predicting protein folding rates have never taken into account the sequence coupling effects. In this work, a novel algorithm was developed for predicting the protein folding rates from amino acid sequences. The prediction was achieved on the basis of dipeptide composition, in which the sequence coupling effects are explicitly included through a series of conditional probability elements. Based on a non-redundant dataset of 99 proteins, the proposed method was found to provide an excellent agreement between the predicted and experimental folding rates of proteins when evaluated with the jackknife test. The correlation coefficient was 87.7% and the standard error was 2.04, which indicated the important contribution from sequence coupling effects to the determination of protein folding rates.
