Electron tunneling is investigated as a possible mechanism for the conduction of electrical current in solids composed of protein molecules. An intermolecular potential barrier is assumed which takes into account the applied electric field and the possibility of image charge effects. The WKB approximation is used to calculate the net tunneling current density and resulting conductivity. The results suggest that electron tunneling per se is not a suitable mechanism for explaining the observed conductivities in such materials.--P. [i].
"This book is concerned with the electron transfer between electrodes on one hand and DNA, RNA and proteins on the other hand and with the use of electrochemistry and electrochemical sensors in DNA and protein analyses. Electrochemical bioassays involve newly emerging fields of genomic, proteomics, biomedicine and biotechnology. DNA and protein chips with electrochemical detection represent new tools of science, medicine and other areas of practical life in this century."--BOOK JACKET.
The subject of this thesis is electronic coupling in donor-bridge-acceptor systems.
