20. We have employed the static dielectric constant for the water solvent in spite of the fact that this could not be applied to the DNA parts. This is because the contribution to the spectral density arising from the water solvent is overwhelmingly dominant, as seen through the comparison with the results accounting only for the water solvent [9].
