Abstract:

In our discussion of electronic parameters for charge (hole or electron) transfer along DNA we have omitted to mention that, regarding the tight-binding description of hole transport, the corresponding tight-binding parameters should be taken with the opposite sign of the calculated on-site energies and transfer hopping integrals. This means that for describing hole transport at the base-pair level, the on-site energies EbpH presented in the second row of table 2 and the hopping transfer integrals tbpH presented in the second column of table 3 should be used with opposite signs in order to provide the tight-binding parameters of eq. (10). Similarly, for describing hole transport at the single-base level, the on-site energies EbH presented in the eleventh row of table 1 and the hopping transfer integrals tbH presentedin the second column of tables 4–7 should be used with opposite signs in order to provide the tight-binding parameters of eq. (13). Moreover, on p. 300, 8 lines below eq. (14), in the calculation of charge transfer hopping parameters the separation between adjacent base-pairs in B-DNA should read 3.4 ̊A, instead of 3.14 ̊A.
