Abstract

In this third and final chapter on single-stranded, or effectively single-stranded, polymers, we consider perturbations produced by a second molecule. In Section 10, the “second molecule” is a second component that aggregates along with the first component. In Section 11, the “second molecule” is a ligand that binds to the aggregating species all along the polymeror, in other cases, the ligand binding is confined to the ends of the polymer. Section 27 deals with a somewhat related topic.
