Fluctuation-facilitated charge migration along DNA.
We propose a model Hamiltonian for charge transfer along the DNA double helix with temperature-driven fluctuations in the base pair positions acting as the rate limiting factor for charge transfer between neighboring base pairs. We compare the predictions of the model with the recent work of Barton and Zewail on the unusual two-stage charge transfer of DNA.
متن کاملCharge migration along the DNA duplex: hole versus electron transport.
Cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes tethered to 18-mer oligonucleotides through a functionalized dipyridophenazine ligand have been used to study the distance dependence profile of hole and electron transport along DNA. These DNA assemblies allow a direct comparison of hole and electron transport with a single donor coupled into the base stack. Interestingly, both processes, monitored with modifie...
متن کاملCharge migration in DNA: ion-gated transport.
Electron hole (radical cation) migration in DNA, where the quantum transport of an injected charge is gated in a correlated manner by the thermal motions of the hydrated counterions, is described here. Classical molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with large-scale first-principles electronic structure calculations reveal that different counterion configurations lead to formation of st...
متن کاملCharge Transport along the l-DNA Double Helix
We have measured the conductivity s along the lambda phage DNA l-DNA double helix at microwave frequencies using lyophilized DNA in and also without a buffer. The conductivity is strongly temperature dependent around room temperature with a crossover to a weakly temperature dependent conductivity at low temperatures. Removal of the water mantle around the double helix leads to reduced conductiv...
متن کاملCharge migration through DNA molecules in presence of mismatches
Charge transport characteristics of short double-strand (ds) DNA including mismatches are studied within a methodology combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and electronic structure calculations based on a fragment orbital approach. Electronic parameters and transmission probabilities are computed along the MD trajectory. We find that in the course of the MD simulation the energetic pos...
