  We selected and studied 180 pairs with dV < 800 km/s and Dp < 60 kpc
containing Markarian (MRK) galaxies to investigate the dependence of galaxies'
integral parameters, star-formation (SF) and active galactic nuclei (AGN)
properties on kinematics of pairs, their structure and large-scale
environments. Projected radial separation Dp and perturbation level P are
better measures of interaction strength than dV. The latter correlates with the
density of large-scale environment and with the morphologies of galaxies. Both
galaxies in a pair are of the same nature, the only difference is that MRK
galaxies are usually righter than their neighbors. Specific star formation
rates (SSFR) of galaxies in pairs with smaller Dp or dV is in average 0.5 dex
higher than that of galaxies in pairs with larger Dp or dV. Closeness of a
neighbor with the same and later morphological type increases the SSFR, while
earlier-type neighbors do not increase SSFR. Major interactions/mergers trigger
SF and AGN more effectively than minor ones. The fraction of AGNs is higher in
more perturbed pairs and pairs with smaller Dp. AGNs typically are in stronger
interacting systems than star-forming and passive galaxies. There are
correlations of both SSFRs and spectral properties of nuclei between pair
members.
