Turner 1999 Internal Loop Example 2

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}(6) + 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 + 0.48×|1 - 5| kcal/mol + 0 kcal/mol + 0 kcal/mol + 0.65 kcal/mol

∆G°₃₇ = +4.2 kcal/mol

Note that the free energy and enthalpy changes for first mismatches in 1×(n-1) internal loops are 0 kcal/mol.
