Example 5

 

 

example structure        

∆G°37 = ∆G°37(Watson-Crick Pairs) + ∆G°37(Hairpin Loop)

 

∆G°37 = ∆G°37(Watson-Crick Pairs) + ∆G°37(terminal mismatch) + ∆G°37 Hairpin initiation(5) + ΔG°37 (special GU closure)

 

∆G°37 = ∆G°37(CG followed by GC) + ∆G°37(GC followed by GC) + ∆G°37(GC followed by GU) + ∆G°37 GU end penalty+ ∆G°37(GU followed by GG) + ∆G°37 Hairpin initiation(5) + ΔG°37 (special GU closure)

 

∆G°37 = –2.36 kcal/mol 3.26 kcal/mol 1.53 kcal/mol + 0.45 kcal/mol 0.8 kcal/mol + 5.6 kcal/mol 2.2 kcal/mol

 

∆G°37 = –4.1 kcal/mol
