Abstract
We review our work aimed at understanding electron transport in DNA molecules and present new results on specific strands. The motivation for our work stems from both: (i) DNA offering a unique framework for nanoscale electronic devices and (ii) recent work to detect diseases by measuring electrical current in DNA. Designer sequences of DNA show the theoretical possibility to behave as superlattices.
