| contents | We have performed multicanonical computer simulations of a small system of short protein-like heteropolymers and found that their aggregation transition possesses similarities to first-order phase separation processes. Not being a phase transition in the thermodynamic sense, the observed folding-binding behavior exhibits fascinating features leading to the conclusion that the temperature is no suitable control parameter in the transition region. More formally, for such small systems the microcanonical interpretation is more favorable than the typically used canonical picture. |
