Abstract
The disordered heteropolymer chain with a random sequence of links-a simple model of globular protein-is investigated using the replica approach in the mean-field approximation. It is shown that for low dimensions of space (dm for x1. It follows that the set of equilibrium states is ultrametric with an anomalously large number of weakly overlapping states.Keywords
