Comparison of reduced χ² values for SMPB and PB predictions for Li⁺ and Rb⁺ titrations for different nucleic acid structures and salt conditions

	SMPB*	PB
44-bp Duplex (50 mM Na+)	1.40	5.62
24-bp Triplex (50 mM Na+)	1.30	7.28
24-bp Duplex (10 mM Na+)	2.94	2.98

^*Computed using calibrated size parameters obtained from fitting the 24-bp duplex (50 mM Na⁺) dataset (Table 1).
