  "summary": "Nucleic acid secondary structure thermodynamic models have great utility for the analysis and design of nucleic acid structures, devices, and systems, yet their complexity and piecemeal development over decades pose challenges to further innovation. Employing different functional forms for each loop type within a structure, existing nearest neighbor (NN) models necessitate numerous loop-specific…",
