This paper provides additional insight into the effect of spontaneous unfolding of the model polymeric chain driven by spatially correlated noise, described in M. Majka, P.F. Góra, Phys. Rev. E86, 051122 (2012). We examine the statistical data on the linearized chain substructures to find that the global unfolding effect arises mainly from the cumulation of short, 2-segment-long fragments, scattered along the chain. This supports an alternative view of spatially correlated noise as both the source of disturbance and the conformation preserving factor.
