Abstract
The adsorption of an ideal heteropolymer loop at a potential point well is investigated within the framework of standard random matrix theory. On the basis of a semi-analytical/semi-numerical approach a histogram of transitio n points for the ensemble of quenched heteropolymer structures with bimodal symmetric distribution of types of chain links is constructed. It is shown that the sequences having transition points in the tail of the histogram d isplay correlations between nearest-neighbour monomers.
