Abstract

The interactions of charges in DNA with the vibrational modes in DNA depend on the spectra of these vibrational modes. Using (a) the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) Hamiltonian approach, (b) integrated structures of DNA and manmade nanostructures, and (c) gel electrophoresis techniques,¹ the interaction between charges in DNA and the vibrational modes of DNA are investigated. As is well-known, DNA has a rich spectrum of modes in the THz spectral regime. The use of manmade nanostructures integrated with DNA facilitates the engineering of nanoscale systems useful in studying the role of environmental effects on the vibrational modes of DNA as well as the interaction of these modes with charge carriers in DNA. Among the DNA-based structures considered in this account are: B-DNA and Z-DNA strands related by a conformational change; and DNA molecules bound on one terminal to indirect bandgap semiconductor quantum dots. Gel electrophoresis is used as a tool for the analysis of carrier interactions in novel integrated DNA-manmade-nanostructure complexes, and models based on the SSH Hamiltonian² are employed as a means of analyzing the interactions between the vibrational modes of DNA and charge carriers in DNA.^3-4
