This review is devoted to tight-binding (TB) modeling of nucleic acid sequences like DNA
and RNA. It addresses how various types of order (periodic, quasiperiodic, fractal) or …

Within a tight-binding framework, we examine conformation-dependent charge transport
properties of the DNA double-helix, including helical symmetry and the possibility of multiple …

After photoexcitation of DNA, the excited electron (in the LUMO) and the remaining hole (in
the HOMO) localized on the same DNA base form a bound pair, called the Frenkel exciton …

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 …

We study periodic, quasiperiodic (Thue-Morse, Fibonacci, period doubling, Rudin-Shapiro),
fractal (Cantor, generalized Cantor), Kolakoski, and random binary sequences using a tight …

The biological functions of DNA are carried out by individual proteins that interact with
specific sequences along the DNA in order to prime the molecular processes required by the …

Atomic carbon wires represent the ultimate one-atom-thick one-dimensional structure. We
use a Tight-binding (TB) approach to determine the electronic structure of polyynic and …

Molecule-based transistors have attracted much attention due to their exclusive properties.
Creation of a molecular transistor as well as engineering its structure have become one of …

Hole transfer along the axis of duplex DNA has been the focus of physical chemistry
research for decades, with implications in diverse fields, from nanotechnology to cell …

Protein-DNA interactions play a fundamental role in all life systems. A critical issue of such
interactions is given by the strategy of protein search for specific targets on DNA. The …
