Prediction of protein folding rates from the amino acid sequence-predicted secondary structure

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We present a method for predicting folding rates of proteins from their amino acid sequences only, or rather, from their chain lengths and their helicity predicted from their sequences. The method achieves 82% correlation with experiment over all 64 "two-state" and "multistate" proteins (including two artificial peptides) studied up to now.
