We use B-DNA as our prototype system. All sequences have purines, guanine (G) or adenine (A), on the same strand, i.e., our prototype binary alphabet is &lt;span id=&quot;MathJax-Element-1-Frame&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 117%;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-chtml MathJax_CHTML&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-1&quot; class=&quot;mjx-math&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-2&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mrow&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-3&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mrow&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-4&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mo&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;padding-top: 0.491em; padding-bottom: 0.614em;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-char MJXc-TeX-main-R&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-5&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mi&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;padding-top: 0.43em; padding-bottom: 0.369em;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-char MJXc-TeX-main-R&quot;&gt;G&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-6&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mo&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin-top: -0.18em; padding-bottom: 0.553em;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-char MJXc-TeX-main-R&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-7&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mi MJXc-space1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;padding-top: 0.43em; padding-bottom: 0.369em;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-char MJXc-TeX-main-R&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;MJXc-Node-8&quot; class=&quot;mjx-mo&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;padding-top: 0.491em; padding-bottom: 0.614em;&quot; class=&quot;mjx-char MJXc-TeX-main-R&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Our aim is to examine the influence of sequence intricacy and magnitude of parameters on energy structure, localization, and charge transport. We study quantities such as autocorrelation function, eigenspectra, density of states, Lyapunov exponents, transmission coefficients, and current-voltage curves. We show that the degree of sequence intricacy and the presence of correlations decisively affect the aforementioned physical properties. Periodic segments have enhanced transport properties. Specifically, in homogeneous sequences transport efficiency is maximum. There are several deterministic aperiodic sequences that can support significant currents, depending on the Fermi level of the leads. Random sequences is the less efficient category.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cited By 8</style></notes></record></records></xml>
