“…Usually, tight-binding Hamiltonians are employed to describe electronic structures of DNA duplexes -both explicitly (in the form of the "fishbone", "ladder" and similar models -see, for example, [51,53,58,60,[64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] and the pertinent review articles [3,[73][74][75][76][77] ) and implicitly (within the framework of Marcus-type theories of charge transfer, for example, [55,[78][79][80][81] and the references therein). These works were successful in qualitatively (and sometimes even quantitatively) describing numerous experimental data (see, for example, [42,56,57,82,83] and the references therein) on transfer of injected single holes (or injected single electrons) through DNA duplexes.…”
