Jamming of Knots along a Tensioned Chain

We examine the motion of a knot along a tensioned chain whose backbone is corrugated due to excluded volume effects. At low applied tensions, the knot traverses the chain diffusively, while at higher tensions the knot makes slow, discrete hops that can be described as a Poisson process. In this &quo...
