Abstract: The fast growth of protein sequencing and protein structure data has promoted the development
of the protein structural class prediction. Several prediction methods have been proposed to
study protein folding rate, DNA binding sites, as well as reducing the search of conformational
space and realizing the prediction of tertiary structure. This paper introduces the current approaches
of protein structural class prediction and emphasizes their steps from information extraction to
classification algorithms.
