We focus especially on the situation where at least one of the subunits is a polyelectrolyte. Our remarks in particular correct the existing theoretical analysis of separation capabilities of devices in which a buoy (sphere, protein, polymer) is attached to a DNA chain. We also predict that, in some cases, the direction of electrophoretic motion can be reversed by increasing the electric field amplitude.
