Long-lived metastable knots in polyampholyte chains.

Knots in proteins and DNA are known to have significant effect on their equilibrium and dynamic properties as well as on their function. While knot dynamics and thermodynamics in electrically neutral and uniformly charged polymer chains are relatively well understood, proteins are generally polyamph...
