Long-Distance Electron Transfer Through DNA
Abstract
▪ Abstract DNA molecules are able to transport electrons over long distances. In most experiments the process is stimulated by the oxidation of guanines (G), which generates guanine radical cations. The electron transport through DNA occurs in a multistep hopping mechanism with all Gs as carriers of the positive charge. The rate of each individual hopping step between the Gs decreases strongly with increase of the distance. If the (A:T) bridges between the guanines are long, adenines (A) also become charge carriers. Mismatches, single strands, and G-oxidation products can drastically diminish the efficiency of the charge transport. But in triplexes and DNA/RNA duplexes, as well as in several duplex DNA/peptide complexes, the efficacy of the charge transport is less affected. The ability of DNA molecules to transport charges over long distances could provide a mechanism for ameliorating the harmfulness of damage to DNA under the conditions of oxidative stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
