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. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
