On the behavior of random RNA secondary structures near the glass transition
William D. Baez, Kay Jörg Wiese, Ralf Bundschuh
RNA forms elaborate secondary structures through intramolecular base pairing. These structures perform critical biological functions within each cell. Due to the availability of a…
Random RNA under tension
Francois David, Christian Hagendorf, Kay Joerg Wiese
The Laessig-Wiese (LW) field theory for the freezing transition of random RNA secondary structures is generalized to the situation of an external force. We find a second-order phas…
The Freezing of Random RNA
Michael Lässig, Kay Joerg Wiese
We study secondary structures of random RNA molecules by means of a renormalized field theory based on an expansion in the sequence disorder. We show that there is a continuous pha…
