Abstract
AbstractAfter briefly reviewing the results of ab initio band structure calculations on periodic polynucleotides, it is shown how these band structures can be corrected for correlation (quasi particle band structures). Some new results on the electronic structure of aperiodic polypeptides (having up to four different amino acids as components) obtained with the help of the matrix block negative factor counting technique are then presented. They are supplemented by similar results calculated for nonperiodic nucleotide base stacks. Some plausible long‐range effects for the activation of oncogenes through carcinogens are then reviewed. Finally, the preparation of much better defined samples of biopolymers (on which reliable physical measurements could be performed) is discussed.
