The multibranch loop nearest neighbor parameters for initiation free energy change were reported in:
Mathews, D.H. and Turner, D.H. (2002) Experimentally derived nearest neighbor parameters for the stability of RNA three- and four-way multibranch loops. Biochemistry, 41, 869-880.
The enthalpy change parameters were reported in:
Lu, Z.J., Turner, D.H. and Mathews, D.H. (2006) A set of nearest neighbor parameters for predicting the enthalpy change of RNA secondary structure formation. Nucleic Acids Res., 34 4912 - 4924.
The experimental data for the fit of the parameters were taken from:
