  We consider a two-letter self-avoiding (square) lattice heteropolymer model
of N_H (out ofN) attracting sites. At zero temperature, permanent links are
formed leading to collapse structures for any fraction rho_H=N_H/N. The average
chain size scales as R = N^{1/d}F(rho_H) (d is space dimension). As rho_H -->
0, F(rho_H) ~ rho_H^z with z={1/d-nu}=-1/4 for d=2. Moreover, for 0 < rho_H <
1, entropy approaches zero as N --> infty (being finite for a homopolymer). An
abrupt decrease in entropy occurs at the phase boundary between the swollen (R
~ N^nu) and collapsed region. Scaling arguments predict different regimes
depending on the ensemble of crosslinks. Some implications to the protein
folding problem are discussed.
