37. Typically, in membrane channels the diffusion of the polymer chain is much slower than in the free solution. This is particularly true for situations in vivo, in which additional effects such as binding of the chain-to-be- translocated to the membrane itself come into play. From that point of view we expect that even for typical chaperone sizes of 60-90 kDA (in comparison, a typical DNA binding protein is twice the size), the assumption of fast kinetics is in order.
