Abstract
We study the dynamics of an heteropolymeric chain relaxing toward a
new equilibrium configuration after the action of an external
perturbation. We compare the results from Monte Carlo simulations
with the results of a Langevin normal mode decomposition. We discuss,
for sake of comparison, the case of an ordered homo-polymeric chain.
We discuss the dependence of the relaxation stretching exponent over
the system size by studying chains constituted by 15 and 30 points.
