Comparison of the hairpin loop entropies calculated by 5- and 6-state models and the extrapolated values (note that the values at n≤9 are determined by experiments). The curve calculated by 6-state model is smoother than that by 5-state model because the calculation are repeated many times to ensure the relative standard error is less than 1%.
