Title: Electronic structure of DNA: How to construct a correct tight-binding Hamiltonian
Author: Jewgeni Starikow
E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: Charge transfer/transport of DNA is still a hot and controversial topic. Not only the relevant experimental data are quite disparate, but modelling of the process also experiences a number of difficulties. First, a rather large number of theoretical papers employs incorrect representation of DNA duplexes by adopting the wrong form of tight-binding Hamiltonian. This error roots in a number of earlier papers, which are but commonly cited. Second, the DNA Hamiltonians are usually endowed with inconsistent sets of parameters. The ways of improving the situation are discussed.
