31. The equilibrium constants K are slightly different for intra- and interstrand hole transfer between G and A bases because the neighboring bases influence the ionization potentials of G and A: b) A. A. Voityuk, J. Jortner, M. Bixon, N. Rösch, Chem. Phys. Lett. 2000, 324, 430;

33. 1 are greater than unity. We assume that this might be caused by the bulky charge-injection complex. If this complex is close to the proximal guanine bases, their water-trapping rates could be slower than those of the distal guanine bases because of steric effects.
