"The two-temperature description of the RNA-like molecule is
invented. Instead of equilibrium treatment of the polymer state,
the steady state viewpoint is proposed," scientists in Yerevan,
Armenia report (see also Physics).
"The molecule is considered as being in an adiabatic steady state,
which is a non-equilibrium one. The general approach to the molecule in
such a steady state is discussed and the simple model with saturating
bonds is considered. The relation between mean square end-to-end
distance and the number of monomers is derived for the simple system
under condition T> Theta," wrote K.G. Sargsyan and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "The obtained relation depends on additional
so-called disorder temperature."
Sargsyan and colleagues published their study in Modern Physics
Letters B (Two temperature description of RNA-LIKE polymer. Modern
Physics Letters B, 2008;22(10):785-790).
