Abstract
AbstractIn particular, charge migration phenomena in DNA have attracted much interest because of relevance to the generation of damage and mutations which play important roles in most of life processes. In this paper a theory method was presented in which the DNA chain was treated as a double‐stranded system, and the charge migration in DNA based on the donor‐bridge‐acceptor system was investigated by this model. After having obtained the Hamiltonian, the effects of the surrounding were explained and calculated. The double‐strand calculation could lead to good exponential decay curves and this time two different falloff parameters were found respectively before and after 3 or 4 AT base pair bridge lengths as prediction. Lately theoretical study showed this result by addition of more parameter, and sequence effect was then concentrated on. The difference of transfer integral caused the different decay rate of unlike sequences, but bridge length was still proved to be the main factor on the decay rates.
