Do the target and the control have the same sequence? If not, I don't see how
you can make a meaningful free energy comparison. And if they do have the
same sequence (so that the differences are in the non-central base pairs), I
don't see how you would interpret the result (although you could certainly
calculate it in the manner you suggest).
