16. The end rings are tethered to the contacts and are relatively immobile. The relative twist can be further enhanced using a four-ring extension, with diametrically opposite dipoles on the central rings rotating in opposite directions in the gate field.

23. We are not considering resonant or single-electron tunneling devices. The former can be analyzed using eqs 3, 4, and 5, but the latter needs a many-particle description.
24. The additivity of the two contributions arises from the widely different time-scales between electronic (∼10 THz) and conformational (∼10 GHz) modes. This causes a relatively weak influence of vibrations on the I-V, even at high bias (see for example, Di Ventra, M.; et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2002, 88, 046801).
