Scaling relations of pulling translocation of a polymer globule through nanopores is studied by using the Langevin dynamics simulations. Under a constant pulling force, the scaling exponent is dependent on the intrapolymer interaction strength. Whereas under a constant pulling speed, it is independent of the intrapolymer interaction strength for sufficiently long polymer chains. The conformational changes of the polymer chain during the translocation and the entropic and enthalpic forces due to the straight conformation at the trans side play important roles on the pulling translocation of a polymer globule.
