Abstract :
A defective double stranded poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecule under axial mechanical strain is analyzed using a tight-binding computational model which allows calculation of the transmission and current characteristics of the system as a function of electron energy. Results show the existence of highly sensitive electron transmission behavior with respect to the on-site energy perturbations.
