Variable range hopping and electrical conductivity along the DNA double helix.
We present a model to describe electrical conductivity along the DNA double helix. In this model, DNA is considered as a one-dimensional disordered system, and electrons are transported via variable range hopping between localized states. Thermal structural fluctuations in DNA further localize electronic wave functions, giving rise to a temperature-dependent localization length. The model quant...
متن کاملNew Aspects of Variable-range-hopping Conductivity in Doped Polyaniline*
Temperature, T, dependence of the electrical conductivity, σ, of own-made polyaniline pellets, highly doped either by HCl or by dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid, is discussed. For the both dopants, a variable-range-hopping exponent 2/5 is found below T * ≈ 200−250 K. This result can be understood on the basis of a recent theory of Fogler, Teber and Shklovskii which takes into account Coulomb correl...
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 کاملVariable Range Hopping Conductivity: Case of the non-constant density of states
The variable range hopping theory has been widely used these last years to explain the electric conduction process in some biological systems as DNA. However, the experimental measurements on such systems reveal that the density of states varies strongly near Fermi level. This observation suggests that the theoretical concept of "constant density of states" near Fermi level is certainly insuffi...
