Fluctuation-Facilitated Charge Migration along DNA

Abstract
We propose a model Hamiltonian for charge transfer along the DNA double helix with temperature driven fluctuations in the base pair positions acting as the rate limiting factor for charge transfer between neighboring base pairs. We compare the predictions of the model with the recent work of J.K. Barton and A.H. Zewail (Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA, 96, 6014 (1999)) on the unusual two-stage charge transfer of DNA.
