The dimerization free energies of RNA RNA duplexes are fundamental values that represent the structural stability of RNA complexes. We report a comparative analysis of RNA RNA duplex dimerization free-energy changes upon mutations, estimated from a molecular dynamics simulation and experiments. A linear regression for nine pairs of double-stranded RNA sequences, six base pairs each, yielded a mean absolute deviation of 0.55 kcal/mol and an R-2 value of 0.97, indicating quantitative agreement between simulations and experimental data. The observed accuracy indicates that the molecular dynamics simulation with the current molecular force field is capable of estimating the thermodynamic properties of RNA molecules.
