Abstract

The results from investigation of the electronic properties of an xDNA duplex made of natural and benzo-homologated bases and a natural one with an analogous sequence suggest that xDNA has a smaller [pi]-[pi]* gap than B-DNA suggests and could be used as plausible candidate for molecular-wire applications.
