  • Abstract
    The mobility of electrons in nucleic acids is closed to the energy transfer of a biological molecule. Arrhenius has studied the conductivity of the electrons in a biological molecule. But his result is far form the experimental result and meanwhile the relation between some parameters in his theory is not very clear. Here, the authors propose a new polaron model of electron mobility in nucleic acids and use Lippman-Schwinger equation and S-matrix theory to study the mobility of electrons in nucleic acid biopolymers. The result is relatively close to the experiment result and some parameters in Arrhenius theory are explained in the authors´ work
