Abstract
The accuracy of predicting protein folding types can be significantly enhanced by a recently developed algorithm in which the coupling effect among different amino acid components is taken into account [Chou and Zhang (1994)J. Biol. Chem. 269, 22014-22020]. However, in practical calculations using this powerful algorithm, one may sometimes face illconditioned matrices. To overcome such a difficulty, an effective eigenvalue-eigenvector approach is proposed. Furthermore, the new approach has been used to predict a recently constructed set of 76 proteins not included in the training set, and the accuracy of prediction is also much higher than those of other methods.
