The energy of interaction between DNA strands in promoters is of great functional importance. Visualization of the energy of DNA strands distribution in promoter sequences was achieved. The separation of promoters in groups by their energetic properties enables evaluation of the dependence of promoter strength on the energetic properties. The analysis of groups (clusters) of promoters distributed by the energy of DNA strands interaction in -55, -35, -10 and +6 sequences indicates their connection with the transcriptional activity.
启动子中DNA链之间的相互作用能量具有重要的功能意义。实现了启动子序列中DNA链能量分布的可视化。根据启动子的能量特性对其进行分组,能够评估启动子强度对能量特性的依赖性。对在-55、-35、-10和+6序列中按DNA链相互作用能量分布的启动子组(簇)进行分析,表明它们与转录活性有关。
