Abstract

We investigate various topological and energy parameters from the protein native structure and find combinations of some parameters that are well correlated with the rate of folding/unfolding. For folding, the topological quantity that combines the clustering coefficient and the long-range order (or total contact distance/contact order) has a high correlation with the folding rate, expressed as ln k F , obtained from standard experimental conditions. For unfolding, a combination of the impact of edge removal, obtained from the protein structure, and the stability of the native protein structure, as expressed by the free energy change ΔG, gives a good correlation with unfolding rate, ln k U .
