We study a model for polaron-like charge transportmechanism along DNA molecules with emphasis on the impact of parametrical and structural disorder. Our model Hamiltonian takes into account the coupling of the charge carrier to two different kind of modes representing fluctuating twist motions of the base pairs and H-bond distortions within the...

We study the transport of charge due to polarons in a model of DNA which takes in account its 3D structure and the coupling of the electron wave function with the H–bond distortions and the twist motions of the base pairs. Perturbations of the ground states lead to moving polarons which travel long distances. The influence of parametric and...
