We develop an approach to derive single-state tight-binding (SSTB) model for electron
transport in the vicinity of valence-conduction bands of poly (G)-poly (C) and poly (A)-poly …

The combination of self-assembly and electronic properties as well as its true nanoscale
dimensions make DNA a promising candidate for a building block of single molecule …

We investigate the influence of a dissipative environment which effectively comprises the
effects of counterions and hydration shells, on the transport properties of short DNA wires …

The coupling of all twelve possible conformational modes of DNA duplexes and four pair-
wise correlations among them to positive charge (hole) motion through these biopolymers …

We investigate quantum transport characteristics of a ladder model, which effectively mimics
the topology of a double-stranded DNA molecule. We consider the interaction of tunneling …

We report on a theoretical study pointing out the fundamental role of the backbone
energetics in the charge transfer efficiency of polyG–polyC and polyA–polyT chains. The …

We consider a class of synthetic DNA molecules based on a quasiperiodic arrangement of
their constituent nucleotides. Making use of a two-step renormalization scheme the double …

Abstract In Chap. 1, Cuniberti et al. have presented a review of theoretical models that are
used for simple, tight-binding-based analysis of charge transport in DNA. These simplified …

We consider a ladder model of DNA for describing carrier transport in a fully coherent
regime through finite segments. A single orbital is associated to each base, and both …

We report a theoretical study highlighting the fundamental effects of backbone disorder
which simulates the environmental complications on charge transport properties of …
