We study the conformational properties of charged polymers in a solvent in the presence of structural obstacles correlated according to a power law x -a . We work within the continuous representation of a model of linear chain considered as a random sequence of charges q i = q 0 . Such a model captures the properties of polyampholytes -heteropolymers comprising both positively and negatively charged monomers. We apply the direct polymer renormalization scheme and analyze the scaling behavior of charged polymers up to the first order of an = 6d, = 4a-expansion.
