We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Decoupled molecules with binding polynomials of bidegree (n,2)
Yue Ren, Johannes W. R. Martini and Jacinta Torres
Abstract
We present a result on the number of decoupled molecules for systems binding two different types of ligands. In the case of $n$ and $2$ binding sites respectively, we show that, generically, there are $2(n!)^{2}$ decoupled molecules with the same binding polynomial. For molecules with more binding sites for the second ligand, we provide some computational results.
