We investigate theoretically the kinetics of the folding transition of a single semiflexible polymer. In the folding transition, the growth rate decreases with an increase in the number of monomers in the collapsed domain, suggesting that the main contribution to dissipation is from the motion of the domain. In the unfolding transition, the dynamic scaling exponents 1/8 and 1/4 were determined for the disentanglement and relaxation steps, respectively. We performed Langevin dynamics simulations to test our theory. It is found that our theory is in good agreement with simulations. We also propose the kinetics of the transitions in the presence of a hydrodynamic interaction.
