The importance of the promoter sequences in the function regulation of several important mycobacterial pathogens creates the necessity to design simple and fast theoretical models that can predict them. This work proposes two DNA promoter QSAR models based on pseudo-folding lattice network (LN) and star-graphs (SG) topological indices. In addition, a comparative study with the previous RNA electrostatic parameters of thermodynamically-driven secondary structure folding representations has been carried out. The best model of this work was obtained with only two LN stochastic electrostatic potentials and it is characterized by accuracy, selectivity and specificity of 90.87%, 82.96% and 92.95%, respectively. In addition, we pointed out the SG result dependence on the DNA sequence codification and we proposed a QSAR model based on codons and only three SG spectral moments.

This work reports a novel 3D pseudo-folding graph representation of protein sequences for modeling purposes. Amino acids euclidean distances matrices (EDMs) encode primary structural information. Amino Acid Pseudo-Folding 3D Distances Count (AAp3DC) descriptors, calculated from the EDMs of a large data set of 1363 single protein mutants of 64 proteins, were tested for building a classifier for the signs of the change of thermal unfolding Gibbs free energy change (DeltaDeltaG) upon single mutations.
