We suggest a new approach to predict the activity of DNA functional sites
that is focused on the perspicuity of the prediction in terms of “a probable
molecular mechanism of the site functioning”. The biological novelty of the
method is in the involvement of physico-chemical and conformational DNA
properties to provide clear interpretation of the obtained activity predictions
in terms of a probable molecular mechanism of the site functioning. For the DNA
feature analyzed, the mean value of a given DNA property averaged for a given
region containing the site is calculated and studied. This approach has allowed
to create a distributed and intelligent database ACTIVITY for the functional
site activity prediction.
