52. AG = 0.14 eV, is smaller than the values of 0.2, 0.47, and 0.46 eV resulting grom gas-phase measurements, measurements in solution, and semiempirical calculations that were discussed in detail in Appendix F. One should note, however, that the energetic difference between G and the partially delocalized bridge states of A's is larger than this value because of the different solvation energies of the localized state at G and the partially delocalized bridge states.
53. The present energetic gap between G and GGG to 0.2 eV may be compared with a wide variety of other values, such as the 0.68 eV estimated from earlier ab initio calculations (Sugiyama, H.; Saito, I. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 7063) and of 0.13 eV estimated in recent semiempirical calculations. Recent time-dependent experiments (Lewis F. D.; Liu, X.; Liu, J.; Hayes, R. T.; Wasielewski, M. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 12037) gave a value of 0.08 eV for this energy gap.

55. During the revision of this manuscript, a paper by Petrov et al. (Petrov, E. G.; Schevchenko, Ye. V.; May, V. Chem. Phys. 2003, 288, 269) was published with an identical phenomenological hopping constant as our eq 3. We would like to emphasize that our result was obtained independently and was presented in May 2002 at a meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Philadelphia, PA (U.S.A.), in May 2002 in a talk at Free University Berlin (Germany), and in November 2002 in talks at University of Nagoya, Kyoto University, and Tsukuba University (Japan).

61. G,GGG increases, and therefore, the overall, yield decreases for short bridge length.

66. One possible source for different local hole energies of identical base pairs concerns the possible modulation of energies by counterions (Barnett, R. B.; Cleveland, C. L.; Joy, A.; Landman, U.; Schuster, G. B. Science 2001, 294, 567) of the solution, which are attracted by the negatively charged sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA.
