Results

The optimal secondary structure upon hybridization is given below. It ranges from positions 24 to 27 in the longer sequence and from positions 4 to 7 in the short sequence.
Total free energy of binding: -2.66 kcal/mol
Energy from duplex formation: -3.00 kcal/mol
Opening energy for the longer sequence: 0.13 kcal/mol
Opening energy for the shorter sequence: 0.21 kcal/mol
You can access the RNAup output here.

Graphical output

The plot below shows the interaction free energy (RED) DeltaGi and the energy needed to open existing structures in the longer sequence (BLACK) for the target region (top) and the whole range (bottom). You can download the top plot as [EPS|PDF|IMAGE CONVERTER]. You can download the bottom plot as [EPS|PDF|IMAGE CONVERTER].

Results have been computed using RNAup 2.6.3. An equivalent command line call would have been
RNAup -b -d2 --noLP -c 'S' < sequences.fa > RNAup.out
