Abstract
We study the conformational properties of charged polymers in a solvent in the presence of structural obstacles correlated according to a power law . We work within the continuous representation of a model of linear chain considered as a random sequence of charges . Such a model captures the properties of polyampholytes -- heteropolymers comprising both positively and negatively charged monomers. We apply the direct polymer renormalization scheme and analyze the scaling behavior of charged polymers up to the first order of an , -expansion.
