Abstract
The diffusion constant of a polymer chain moving in a biomembrane is calculated within a two-dimensional hydrodynamical model
coupled to an ambient fluid through the momentum dissipation mechanism. The obtained diffusion constant depends on the polymer
size logarithmically and algebraically for the weak and strong coupling limits, respectively.
