Random self-interacting chains; a mechanism for protein folding

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We investigate by Monte Carlo simulations the thermodynamic behaviour of a linear heteropolymer m which the interaction between different monomers contains a Quenched random component We show the existence, along with the usual coil and globule phases, of a new/aided phase, characterized by long. efaxation times and by the existence of few stable states.
