13. π-orbital chains for the corresponding two base pairs per "rung," as well as the poorly-conducting phosphate backbone chain, can all be reduced into an effective 1D model with renormalized on-site energy and hopping constant (Ref. 15). The effective constants are those obtained from first-principles calculations which estimate bandwidths in these systems (Ref. 10).
