Based on the Wilemski-Fixman approach (J. Chem. Phys. 60, 866 (1974)) we showed that for a flexible chain in theta solvent hydrodynamic interaction treated with an pre-averaging approximation makes ring closing faster if the chain is not very short. Only for a very short chain the ring closing is slower with hydrodynamic interaction on. We have also shown that the ring closing time for a chain with hydrodynamic interaction in theta solvent scales with the chain length (N) as N^(1.527), in good agreement with previous renormalization group calculation based prediction by Freidman et al. (Phys. Rev. A. 40, 5950 (1989)).
