Summary
This chapter presents salient concepts to understand a vast literature on dynamics of charged macromolecules. Starting from a description of hydrodynamic interaction, dynamics of folded proteins, colloids, flexible polyelectrolytes, DNA are described. For flexible macromolecules, the models of Rouse, Zimm, reptation, and entropic barrier are developed in increasing order of complexity. Using this groundwork, the phenomena of ordinary-extraordinary transition, electrophoretic mobility, and topologically frustrated dynamical state are explained.
