Transient relaxation of a charged polymer chain subject to an external field in a random tube
Transient relaxation of a charged polymer chain in a random media is studied theoretically. We consider a chain in a random tube and present scaling results for relaxation times, for displacement of the chain segments inside the tube, and for the dynamics of leaking from the tube ends.
