  2. outline - Experiments (3 slides) - System Characteristics (3 slides) - Model (… slides)

  3. Interpretation Low-T: ionic conduction (counterions) but cannot account for high-T λ phage DNA Experiment 1 (no contacts – resonant cavity σ = σ(T) at high / low T High-T: carrier excitations across single-particle gaps or T-driven hopping Alternatively phonon-assisted polaron hopping

  4. Interpretation a small polaron hoppingmodel poly(dA)-poly(dT), poly(dG)-poly(dC) Experiment 2 I-V(T) i.e. G = G(T) at high / low T poly(dA)–poly(dT): hopping distance ~ 16.8 Å(5 base pairs) poly(dG)–poly(dC): hopping distance ~ 25 Å(7 base pairs!) Interpret Tran et al? not quite convincing other possible mechanisms? I ~ b V fitting parameter b (with unclear T-dependence)

  5. Interpretation: activated Arrhenius law + constant or variable range hopping + constant native wet-spun calf thymus Li-DNA Experiment 3 σ = σ(T) at high T

  6. … we have to take into accountthe system characteristics

  7. base pair separation ~ 3.4 Å helix step ~ 34 Å DNA double helix (1) deoxyribose nucleic acid two helices = two polynucleotide strands nucleotide = phosphate + sugar+ base (A, T, C, G)  4 nucleotides 4 bases Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Minor groove ~ 1.2 nm Major groove ~ 2.2 nm base pairs: Cytosine <3 Η bonds> Guanine Αdenine <2 Η bonds> Τhymine

  8. Vibrating (phonons) Vibrating (phonons) site j site i (2) deoxyribose nucleic acid H bond length ~ 2.9Å “random”(non-periodic) base sequence (disorder one) base pair separation (i,i+1) ~ 3.4 Å (helix step ~ 34 Å)

  9. (3) deoxyribose nucleic acid diameter ~ 20 Å base end to end separation ~ 10.7 Å Phosphate has a negative charge Phosphate attracts counterions e.g. K+, Na+, etc H bond length ~ 2.9 Å (disorder two)

  10. Polaron 2. Electron (linear interaction) 1, 2 comparable magnitude εi(0) 1. Phonon (parabolic … + nearest neighbors) 3.

  11. i) GMCM ii) Percolation UnSuccessful low-T (all experiments above) ionic conductivity? sth else? What is the character of our system? What must the model take into account? (2) It is plausible that the carriers are small (wavefunction extent) polarons (phonon + electron). Phonon (parabola + nearest neighbors). • Molecular wire (quasi one dimensional character). Each base pair can be considered as a molecular site. (3) Disorder (random base sequence, counterions) • multi-phonon assisted polaron hopping few-phonon assisted hopping analytical expressions for σ=σ(Τ) rm = rm(T) Successful high-T (all experiments above) fitting σ = σ(T) reasonable rm = rm(T)

Res. 33 253 [26] Henderson P T et al 1999 Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 96 8353 It is plausible that when an electron or a hole is injected into a deformable macromolecule such as DNA, it will induce local distortions of the structure as the latter adjusts to the excess charge and lowers the system energy [27]; in other words a ‘polaronic’ distortion will be formed.
