This article discusses the transport of chain-like structures across a pore in membrane. Such a translocation process is initiated by the first monomer captured by molecules forming the pore. This study focuses on the distribution of the position of this particular polymer’s segment. The polymer attachment process is simulated using the sequential algorithm and the influence of various physical and chemical parameters is analyzed. Selected results are presented by means of different histograms.
