The process follows a hopping mechanism and depends upon the DNA sequence. The efficiency of the charge transport is only slightly distance dependent because in most cases the H<sub>2</sub>O trapping of the charge is slower than the electron transfer. These findings show the potential of substituted DNAs as new materials for nanoelectronics in the future.</p> ER -
