Abstract
Calf-thymus DNA sodium salt and polyallylamine hydrochloride a weak polyelectrolyte form a complex wire-like network, where interconnection is due to electrostatic forces during self-assembly. Tunnelling is believed to be responsible for conduction through the films spun on a series of specially designed nanogap electrodes.
