How to interpret minimum free energy (MFE) values for miRNA:mRNA duplex?

09 September 2018 0 9K Report

What does a higher negative ddG and a positive ddG indicate with regards to binding of miRNA to mRNA?

What can be used as a reasonable threshold of MFE to signify actual disruption or enhancement of miRNA binding in in-vivo conditions?
