16. Following the procedure reported by Haiss et al. (ref 13), a 15 s self-assembly from 0.05 mM methanolic solution was performed. The current plateau is observed for about 1% of our measurements, consistent with presence of a diluted submonolayer of 1,9-nonanedithtol on Au(111).

21. We did not observe correlation between the detachment distance and the value of current plateau for a particular DNA sequence and experimental conditions.
22. We have reproduced the tunneling results of Haiss et al. (ref 13) for α,ω-alkanedithiol molecules. For each length, we have observed up to five average values representing integer multiples of a basic current value.
