Electronic coupling of the stacked heterocyclic base pairs in DNA duplexes makes DNA a promising biomaterial for conducting electrons. The process, DNA-mediated charge transport (CT), has recently show pivotal biological functions in repairing/damaging DNA and signaling proteins via one-electron oxi...
