    "abstract": "We study the statistical mechanics of RNA secondary structures designed to\nhave an attraction between two different types of structures as a model system\nfor heteropolymer aggregation. The competition between the branching entropy of\nthe secondary structure and the energy gained by pairing drives the RNA to\nundergo a `temperature independent\u0027 second order phase transition from a molten\nto an aggregated phase\u0027. The aggregated phase thus obtained has a\nmacroscopically large number of contacts between different RNAs. The partition\nfunction scaling exponent for this phase is \\theta ~ 1/2 and the crossover\nexponent of the phase transition is \\nu ~ 5/3. The relevance of these\ncalculations to the aggregation of biological molecules is discussed.",
