Progress in Protein Folding Rate Prediction
蛋白质折叠速率预测研究进展

Protein-folding rate prediction is one of the most important challenges in contemporary biophysics,and a great progress has been made in the past few years.Many empirical parameters have been proposed successively,such as contact order,long-range order,total contact distance,chain topology parameter,secondary structure content,effective length,helix parameter,n-order contact distance,etc.All of them have significant correlations with protein folding rates.The predicted results by the methods based on these parameters fit well with the experimental folding rates.
