Electron conductivity of duplex DNA has promising applications in fabricating DNA based biosensors and electronic devices for biomimic solar cells. However, in aqueous solution DNA-mediated electron transfer (ET) is often far from ideal for these applications. We reported here that in hydrated ionic...
