Abstract
In Chap. 6, Asai and Shimazaki discuss the vibronic mechanisms of charge transport and migration in a single DNA molecule. They discuss in detail theoretical studies in both the weak and in the strong coupling limit. Comparative arguments between transport theory and hole transfer reaction theory follow these discussions. While both the elastic and the hopping conduction mechanisms are found in DNA, the former may be very difficult to observe unless the DNA molecule could be short enough, because of the large energy gap between the metallic electrode and DNA.
