	abstract = {We present a small polaron hopping model for interpreting the strong temperature (<em>T</em>) dependence of the electrical conductivity, σ, observed at high (h) temperatures along DNA molecules. The model takes into account the one-dimensional character of the system and the presence of disorder in the DNA double helix. Percolation-theoretical considerations lead to analytical expressions for the high temperature multiphonon-assisted small polaron hopping conductivity, the hopping distance and their temperature dependence. The experimental data for lambda phage DNA (λ<em>-</em>DNA) and poly(dA){\textendash}poly(dT) DNA follow nicely the theoretically predicted behaviour (EQUATION). Moreover, our model leads to realistic values of the maximum hopping distances, supporting the idea of multiphonon-assisted hopping of small polarons between next nearest neighbours of the DNA molecular {\textquoteright}wire{\textquoteright}. The low temperature case is also investigated.},
