End-to-End Optimized Pipeline for Prediction of Protein Folding Kinetics
Protein folding is the intricate process by which a linear sequence of amino acids self-assembles into a unique three-dimensional structure. Protein folding kinetics is the study of pathways and time-dependent mechanisms a protein undergoes when it folds. Understanding protein kinetics is essential as a protein needs to fold correctly for it to perform its biological functions optimally, and a misfolded protein can sometimes be contorted into shapes that are not ideal for a cellular environment giving rise to many degenerative, neuro-degenerative disorders and amyloid diseases. Monitoring at-risk individuals and detecting protein discrepancies in a protein's folding kinetics at the early stages could majorly result in public health benefits, as preventive measures can be taken. This research proposes an efficient pipeline for predicting protein folding kinetics with high accuracy and low memory footprint. The deployed machine learning (ML) model outperformed the state-of-the-art ML models by 4.8% in terms of accuracy while consuming 327x lesser memory and being 7.3% faster.

Variational Selection of Features for Molecular Kinetics
The modeling of atomistic biomolecular simulations using kinetic models such as Markov state models (MSMs) has had many notable algorithmic advances in recent years. The variational principle has opened the door for a ne…
Model SelectionOptimal Strategy for Stabilizing Protein Folding Intermediates
To manipulate the protein population at certain functional state through chemical stabilizers is crucial for protein-related studies. It not only plays a key role in protein structure analysis and protein folding kinetic…
Protein FoldingA topological study of protein folding kinetics
Focusing on a small set of proteins that i) fold in a concerted, all-or-none fashion and ii) do not contain knots or slipknots, we show that the Gauss linking integral, the torsion and the number of sequence-distant cont…
Protein FoldingA maximum-caliber approach to predicting perturbed folding kinetics due to mutations
We present a maximum-caliber method for inferring transition rates of a Markov State Model (MSM) with perturbed equilibrium populations, given estimates of state populations and rates for an unperturbed MSM. It is simila…
Protein FoldingThe impact of hydrodynamic interactions on protein folding rates depends on temperature
We investigated the impact of hydrodynamic interactions (HI) on protein folding using a coarse-grained model. The extent of the impact of hydrodynamic interactions, whether it accelerates, retards, or has no effect on pr…
