摘要
We consider various mechanisms of long-range electron transfer in DNA which enable us to explain recent controversial experiments. We show that continuous super-exchange theory can explain the values of electron rate constants in short fragments of DNA. The soliton-type electron transfer in long segments of DNA is also dealt with.
