We present a model of proton tunnelling across DNA hydrogen bonds, compute the characteristic tunnelling time (CTT) from donor to acceptor and discuss its biological implications. The model is a double oscillator characterised by three geometry param... Read More about Sub-picosecond proton tunnelling in deformed DNA hydrogen bonds under an asymmetric double-oscillator model.

We study the propagation of α-helix polarons in a model describing the nonadiabatic interaction between an electron and a lattice of quantum mechanical oscillators at physiological temperature. We show that when excited by a subpicosecond electric pu... Read More about Directed polaron propagation in linear polypeptides induced by intramolecular vibrations and external electric pulses.
