Depletion theory of protein transport in semi-dilute polymer solutions. Cconsiders the effects of polymer depletion on the transport (diffusion and electrophoresis) of small proteins through semi-dilute solutions of a flexible polymer. A self-consistent field theory may be set up in the important case of quasi-ideal interactions when the protein is small enough. Dynamic depletion, the reorganization of the depletion layer as the protein diffuses, is computed within a free-draining approximation.
