RE: about excess electron transfer theoretical study

There are lots of paper by Yuri Berlin at Northwestern on the theory of
 transport in DNA.  I think there are also theoretical papers by Schuster
 at Georgia Tech.
 I don't keep up with this story.  I haven't liked it from the beginning.
 I am a radiation chemist.  To say that DNA is a molecular wire is silly.
 You can irradiate a Cu wire all you want, and not get any free radicals.
 Since the wire conducts charge, the charges merely recombine.  If DNA
 were a wire it to would have no build up of radiation induced charges.
 But it is well know that DNA has a very high G-value (a measure of
 radicals produced per unit of energy deposited).

 Subject: CCL:about excess electron transfer theoretical study
 Dear all,
 I am reading about study on excess electron transfer (mainly thgouth DNA
 or pi-stack system). Although there are more and more experiments on
 this,
 I didn't find much theoretical reference talking about method study it.
 Is
 there really no such publication? Anyone who has seen it or know where I
 can find it please give me some help! Any information would be helpful,
 even reference on the conducticity of DNA would be helpful.
 Thanks a lot!
 Jeny
