example structure        

∆G°37 = ∆G°37(Watson-Crick Pairs) + ∆G°37 intermolecular initiation + ∆G°37(Internal Loop)

 

∆G°37 = ∆G°37(CG followed by AU) + ∆G°37(CG followed by GC) + ∆G°37 intermolecular initiation+ ∆G°37 initiation(5) + ΔG°37 asymmetry×| n1 - n2| + ΔG°37 mismatch(mismatch 1) + ΔG°37 mismatch(mismatch 2) + ΔG°37 AU/GU closure

 

∆G°37 = –2.11 kcal/mol 2.36 kcal/mol + 4.09 kcal/mol + 2.0 kcal/mol + 0.6×|2 - 3| kcal/mol – 0.8 kcal/mol – 1.2 kcal/mol + 0.7 kcal/mol

 

∆G°37 = +0.9 kcal/mol

 

∆H° = ∆H°(Watson-Crick Pairs) + ∆H°intermolecular initiation + ∆H°(Internal Loop)

 

∆H°= ∆H°(CG followed by AU) + ∆H°(CG followed by GC) + ∆H°intermolecular initiation+ ∆H°initiation(5) + ΔH°asymmetry×| n1 - n2| + ΔH°mismatch(mismatch 1) + ΔH°mismatch(mismatch 2) + ΔH°AU/GU closure

 

∆H° = –10.44 kcal/mol 10.64 kcal/mol + 3.61 kcal/mol – 6.8 kcal/mol + 3.2×|2 - 3| kcal/mol – 9.0 kcal/mol – 10.9 kcal/mol + 5.0 kcal/mol

 

∆H° = –36.0 kcal/mol
