A Brief Introduction of Pred-PFR
We have developed a web-server for predicting the folding rate of a protein based on its amino acid sequence information alone. The web-server is called Pred-PFR (Predicting Protein Folding Rate). Pred-PFR is featured by fusing multiple individual predictors, each of which is established based on one special feature derived from the protein sequence. The ensemble predictor thus formed is superior to the individual ones, as demonstrated by achieving higher correlation coefficient and lower root mean square deviation when examined by the jackknife cross-validation on a benchmark dataset constructed recently. As a user-friendly web-server, Pred-PFR is freely accessible to the public at www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/FoldingRate/.
