We present a brief account of the theory of diffusion-influenced kinetics of reactions involving polymers. The review will be based on the recent contributions from the authors. Both intrapolymer and interpolymer reactions are considered, and the effects of various physical factors, such as the chain length, chain stiffness, and hydrodynamic interactions, are described within a unified theoretical framework.
