You might first try Smith, Alderidge and Callis, Science 243, 203-206 (1989). They made videos of large DNAs undergoing electrophoresis through an agarose gel. It appears that for that case, that DNA does not reptate. Any stat mech book which covers Brownian motion should cover the Langevin equation (e.g. McQuarrie - Statistical Mechanics, and I am sure there are others). Hope this helps Bryant Fujimoto fujimoto@denali.chem.washington.edu
