25. Equation 11a may present one or three different roots for ζ̄, corresponding to a single minimum or to a maximum separating two contiguous minima, respectively. Physically, this means a spatially homogeneous conformational population (single minimum) or phase-separated domains with different conformations (double minimum). Our expansion in power series for ε is performed around one of these minima. This procedure is correct in the case of a single minimum and is also generally valid in the double minimum case provided we are far from the critical temperature.
