Abstract :
Summary form only given. DNA is one of the most promising molecules which may act as the scaffold for molecular nanotechnology and nanoelectronics. DNA has the special double helix structure with /spl pi/-electron cores of well-stacking bases for the use of long-distance (e.g. 200 /spl Aring/) and one-dimensional charge transport. The investigations of DNA in terms of the nanostructure, electrical conductivity and electronic states have significant implications for the application of DNA in electronic devices and in DNA-based electrochemical biosensors.
