The state space of a polymer molecule is analysed. We show how the size of the state space can be reduced on the basis of symmetry. In the reduced state space, the probability of a new state (termed below as class) is equal to the number of old states represented by the new state multiplied by the probability of each old state. As an application, the electrophoretic motion of the molecule in gel is considered. We discuss the influence of the gel medium and of external field on the molecule states, with absorbing states of hooked molecules playing a major role. We show that in the case of strong fields both the velocity and the diffusion coefficient decrease with field. Finally, we evaluate the time of relaxation to and from the absorbing states. This is done with a continuous version of the exact enumeration method for weighted networks.
