G-quartet biomolecular nanowires
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first-principle investigation of quadruple helix nanowires, consisting of stacked planar hydrogen-bonded guanine tetramers. Our results show that long wires form and a…
Ab-initio study of model guanine assemblies: The role of pi-pi coupling and band transport
R. Di Felice, A. Calzolari, E. Molinari +1
Several assemblies of guanine molecules are investigated by means of first-principle calculations. Such structures include stacked and hydrogen-bonded dimers, as well as vertical c…
Self-assembled guanine ribbons as wide-bandgap semiconductors
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first principle study about the stability and the electronic properties of a new biomolecular solid-state material, obtained by the self-assembling of guanine (G) mole…
Transport in hybrid electronic devices based on a modified DNA nucleoside (deoxyguanosine)
R. Rinaldi, E. Branca, R. Cingolani +6
We report on a new class of hybrid electronic devices based on a DNA nucleoside (deoxyguanosine lipophilic derivative) whose assembled polymeric ribbons interconnect a submicron me…
