Tight-Binding Modeling of Charge Migration in DNA Devices

  • Chapter
Book cover Charge Migration in DNA

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

In Chap. 1, Cuniberti et al. have presented a review of theoretical models that are used for simple, tight-binding-based analysis of charge transport in DNA. These simplified models for the DNA strand can offer insights albeit qualitatively, into the intrinsic transport characteristics, statistical properties, sequence dependence and also the effects of solution and the environment.
