Polaron Hopping in Nano-scale Poly(dA)–Poly(dT) DNA
We investigate the current-voltage relationship and the temperature-dependent conductance of nano-scale samples of poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA molecules. A polaron hopping model has been used to calculate the I-V characteristic of nano-scale samples of DNA. This model agrees with the data for current versus voltage at temperatures greater than 100 K. The quantities G(0), i(0), and T(1d) are determine...
متن کاملSmall polaron hopping in spinel manganates
The temperature dependence of small polaron hopping conduction in ceramic spinel NiMn2O4+ thermistor material has been investigated. We used a theoretical framework based on a random resistor network model to describe small polaron nearest-neighbor hopping NNH and variable range hopping VRH , following the principles of Shklovskii and Efros. We find that in printed thick films and in pressed pe...
متن کاملLong-distance charge transport in duplex DNA: the phonon-assisted polaron-like hopping mechanism.
An anthraquinone-linked duplex DNA oligomer containing 60 base pairs was synthesized by PCR. The strand complementary to the quinone-containing strand has four isolated GG steps, which serve as traps for a migrating radical cation. Irradiation of the quinone leads to electron transfer from the DNA to the quinone forming the anthraquinone radical anion and a base radical cation. The radical cati...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Long-Distance Radical Cation Transport in Duplex DNA: Ion-Gated Hopping of Polaron-Like Distortions
The irradiation of an anthraquinone derivative that is covalently attached to duplex DNA injects a radical cation into the bases of the DNA. This radical cation can migrate hundreds of ngstroms before it is trapped at GG steps by reaction with water. These damaged guanines result in DNA strand scissions when they are treated with piperidine. Investigation of several such DNA constructs reveals ...
متن کاملNano-Scale Alignment of Proteins on a Flexible DNA Backbone
Nano-scale alignment of several proteins with freedom of motion is equivalent to an enormous increase in effective local concentration of proteins and will enable otherwise impossible weak and/or cooperative associations between them or with their ligands. For this purpose, a DNA backbone made of six oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) chains is designed in which five double-stranded segments are connec...
