Computational Method and Apparatus for Predicting Polypeptide Aggregation Or Solubility

A prediction method for predicting the effect of an amino acid modification on the rate of aggregation (solubility) of a reference polypeptide comprising: calculating the difference in hydrophobicity ([Delta]Hydr) between the reference polypeptide and a modified polypeptide, calculating the difference in [beta]-sheet propensity ([Delta][Delta]Gcoil-[alpha]+[Delta][Delta]G[beta]-coil) between the reference polypeptide and modified polypeptide, calculating the difference in charge ([Delta] Charge) between the reference polypeptide and modified polypeptide, and calculating: [x*[Delta]Hydr]+[y*([Delta][Delta]Gcoil-[alpha]+[Delta][Delta]G[beta]-coil)]-[z*[Delta]Charge], wherein x, y and z are scaling factors.
