Description
We study electronic transport in long DNA chains using the tight-binding approach for a ladder-like model of DNA. We find insulating behavior with localizaton lengths xi ~ 25 in units of average base-pair seperation. Furthermore, we observe small, but significant differences between lambda-DNA, centromeric DNA, promoter sequences as well as random-ATGC DNA.
