Nucleic acids and proteins are not only biologically important polymers. They have recently
been recognized as novel functional materials surpassing conventional materials in many …

The electron hole transfer (HT) properties of DNA are substantially affected by thermal
fluctuations of the π stack structure. Depending on the mutual position of neighboring …

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been established as an efficient medium for charge
migration, bringing it to the forefront of the field of molecular electronics and biological …

The photoexcitation of DNA strands triggers extremely complex photoinduced processes,
which cannot be understood solely on the basis of the behavior of the nucleobase building …

We present a detailed study of the charge transport characteristics of double-stranded DNA
oligomers including the oxidative damage 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). The …

We describe an ultra-fast, multi-scale method for calculating charge transfer rates through
the π-stack of DNA using a simple charge hopping model in conjunction with the Marcus …

Electrical conducting properties of DNA duplexes sandwiched between Au electrodes have
been investigated by use of first-principles molecular simulation based on DFT and Green's …

We numerically investigate quantum diffusion of an electron in a model of poly (dG)-poly
(dC) and poly (dA)-poly (dT) DNA polymers with fluctuation of the parameters due to the …

Dependence of charge transmission through several experimentally studied DNA duplexes
on their lowest-frequency acoustic modes, combined with the molecular dynamics in …
