49. According to quantum calculations reported by M. Unge and S. Stafström [Nano Lett. NALEFD 1530-6984 10.1021/nl034631d 3, 1417 (2003)], the orbital overlapping between the sugar carbon and nucleobase nitrogen atoms forming the glycosidic bond is almost negligible for G-sugar and A-sugar nucleosides. In the case of C-sugar and T-sugar moieties such overlapping gives rise to a small shift of the on-site base energies of about 0.12 eV.
50. The topological structure of the renormalized chain shown in Fig. 2 coincides with the Fishbone model discussed by G. Cuniberti, L. Craco, D. Porath, and C. Dekker, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.241314 65, 241314 (R) (2002)

54. A comparison between density functional calculations and a tight-binding model, reported in Ref., indicates that second-nearest-neighbor interactions are one order of magnitude smaller than nearest-neighbor ones. A detailed numerical study on the interbase coupling in ds B-DNA structures containing 4-8 BP's concluded that the hopping integrals beyond second-nearest-neighbor bases are negligible [H. Mehrez and M. P. Anantram, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.71.115405 71, 115405 (2005)].
55. Let A be a matrix belonging to the SL (2,R) group. Then, An = Un-1 (z) A- Un-2 (z) I, where Uk (z) is a Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind and z trA 2.
