DNA charge transport (CT) chemistry has received considerable attention by scientific
researchers over the past 15 years since our first provocative publication on long-range CT …

Not long after the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA in 1952, researchers
proposed that charge transfer along a one-dimensional π-array of nucleobases might be …

The transport of charge through the DNA base-pair stack offers a route to carry out redox
chemistry at a distance. Here we describe characteristics of this chemistry that have been …

Interest in using DNA as a building block for nanoelectronic sensors and devices stems from
its efficient hole-conducting properties and the relative ease with which it can be organized …

The structural core of DNA, a continuous stack of aromatic heterocycles, the base pairs,
which extends down the helical axis, gives rise to the fascinating electronic properties of this …

DNA-based molecular electronics will require charges to be transported from one site within
a 2D or 3D architecture to another. While this has been shown previously in linear, π …

Charge transfer in DNA is an essential process in biological systems because of its close
relation to DNA damage and repair. DNA is also an important material used in …

DNA-Hg complexes may play an important role in sensing DNA defects or in detecting the
presence of Hg in the environment. A fundamental way of characterizing DNA-Hg …

Oligonucleotides are biopolymers that can be easily modified at various locations. Thereby,
the attachment of metal complexes to nucleic acid derivatives has emerged as a common …

Rare tautomeric forms of nucleobases can lead to Watson–Crick-like (WC-like) mispairs in
DNA, but the process of proton transfer is fast and difficult to detect experimentally. NMR …
