Background:

Understanding protein physicochemical and functional properties is crucial in biochemistry.
Predicting these properties from amino acid composition offers a powerful analytical approach.

Purpose of the Study:

To model protein physicochemical and functional properties based on amino acid composition.
To evaluate the predictive power of models using three versus five principal property scores.

Main Methods:

Partial least squares regression was employed to model protein properties.
The contributions of 20 coded amino acids to principal properties (z-scores) were utilized.
Models were developed using three and five principal property scores for comparison.

Main Results:

Five-term models demonstrated superior fit and predictive performance compared to three-term models.
Accurate predictions were achieved for protein hydrophobicity (R = 0.932), viscosity (R = 0.737), and foam capacity (R = 0.880).
These results highlight the significance of the fourth and fifth property scores.

Conclusions:

Amino acid composition can effectively predict key protein functional and physicochemical properties.
The inclusion of additional principal property scores enhances model accuracy.
This modeling approach shows potential for predicting other protein properties.
